• “You don’t have to half-naked to be successful; just talented.”
• “Honestly I just wear what I like. You know why? ‘Cause I can, I’m a rock star.”
• “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.”
• “I’m not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.”
• “If people make fun of you, it probably means you’re doing something right.”
• “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.”
• “We’re definitely a rock band, but the twist is that the band`s music is epic, dramatic, dark rock.” – on Evanescence
• “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’m glad that people are accepting our music and are connected to our art. Whether we`re popular or not, I don’t care.”
• “My darlings, if I can`t write dark, epic music, i can’t live!”
• “The fact that he left the band, it wasn’t like it killed me and hurt my feelings and made me feel like I lost a friend, it was actually more of a relief because he’d been so unhappy on tour recently that it was making everyone else unhappy. We all hope he’s happier now.” – commenting on Ben Moody`s decision to leave the band
• “That’s where I spent of lot of my high-school years-in the closet. It wasn’t too cramped, but you do get really hot.”
• “We’ve never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be”
• “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 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.”
• “Our interaction with the non-con-going public was limited, which means that while we looked pretty strange, it’s nothing out of the ordinary at an anime convention.”
