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 don't want to ever be a quote-unquote rock star. I want to just be me.
Every time a cool rock chick or actress seems to respect themselves as a strong woman, I'm like, 'Yeah!' And I love them, and they're my girls. And then they start to go downhill and people aren't paying attention anymore. So they start stripping their clothes off, because that's all they have left. I swear to everything I've ever known, I will never do that
I don't want to be Christina Aguilera. I want to be Amy Lee, rock queen - not sex queen.
People told me I can't dress like a fairy. I say, I'm in a rock band and I cand do whatever the hell I want!
Honestly I just wear what I like. You know why? 'Cause I can, I'm a rock star.
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
