Christina Aguilera's 'Stripped' had a lot of good songs. It's my range, so I use it to warm up a lot.

I've realized that Evanescence is who I am.

My biggest dream from the beginning - besides Evanescence - is scoring film and writing music for film.

I design a lot of things that I wear onstage, but I'm always looking for unique stuff. I like creative things, so anything I can find at a secondhand costume shop to a Helmut Lang store, it doesn't...

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.

I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.

Like now what Urban Outfitters has become is very much how I always dressed in high school by going to garage sales and getting stuff for 50 cents. Cost a little more now, to look like crap.

I'm the goofball. I'm the person cracking people up.

I try to be feminist in, like, I love myself and I don't need someone else's approval.

I want to work with kids. I would love to be a teacher.
