Zitat des Tages von Amy Lee:
If people are making fun of you then you're probably doing something right.
I am Evanescence. I am the only original member. I have basically hired the band. Evanescence has become me. It is mine and it's exactly how I want it to be.
I love tiny, plastic realistic food magnets. I don't know why. They're hilarious.
My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live!
I think it's important to realize that we're all just human. I mean, nobody is supernatural.
I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.
Honestly I just wear what I like. You know why? 'Cause I can, I'm a rock star.
I write by myself initially. That's the way I've always written, just working on pure thought by myself. Then I bring it to the table with whoever I'm collaborating with.
The only place I'm recognized is at the mall, because that's where the teens are.
I'm not the fastest writer. I can't just crank out ideas that are good enough.
L.A. doesn't have any big personality to me; it's not inspiring.
I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.
Life can be tough sometimes. But I think it just starts with admitting, 'Okay, the world's not perfect, how do we live our lives within that and not be miserable?'
I'm the goofball. I'm the person cracking people up.
Everyone knows a lot about me without actually knowing me at all.
At the end of any really long tour you need to get your head in order.
There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.
When Evanescence took time off, I bought a big concert harp and started taking lessons like I was in high school again, which was really, really fun. I felt like I was learning again.
We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again.
I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.
I really do listen to all types of music, not only rock, but everything from good pop music - which is usually older pop music - to R&B and indie rock. I love indie rock more than a lot of the commercial stuff that you'd expect.
I want to work with kids. I would love to be a teacher.
Something that's fun for me is a challenge. When you have a challenge and you take on that challenge and succeed, that's the best feeling.
I dream crazy vivid dreams. Like, entire movies. And sometimes I write songs about them.
We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.
You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it.
I love the creative process. That's always been the closest thing to my heart, creating something.
