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?'
Nobody's perfect. I'm perfectly flawed.
The making of this record has been really intense, but I've come out feeling purified. I've grown so much since 'Fallen,' and Terry is the perfect writing partner--I feel like I've been lifted up to a whole new level of inspiration and possibilities. After all the things we've seen over the past couple of years, beautiful and tragic, in the end I'm really grateful. It has made us create music I could not be more in love with.
People will spend copious amounts of time and money working on a costume, only to have no one recognize what character they're dressed as.
Me and my husband say parents of a parent should raise their children. Some people need help with their children more than others, and she's one of the ones that needs some help.
'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is my number one biggest influence artistically in every way.
I'm the goofball. I'm the person cracking people up.
I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.
I like Israel. The fans are incredible. It was the best.
Writing music is my therapy. It’s very purifying!
I cry alot-I dont know why, but it just helps me. I cry over bad and good stuff-sometimes sadness can be beautiful
We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.
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 RB and indie rock. I love indie rock more than a lot of the commercial stuff that you'd expect.
I've realized that Evanescence is who I am.
