At The End Of Any Really Long

Success Gave Me Confidence As An Artist. And Now I'm Able To Do What I Want Without Anybody Thinking It's Dumb.

My Biggest Dream From The Beginning - Besides Evanescence - Is Scoring Film And Writing Music For Film.

When I Was In High School, I Listened To A Lot Of Death Metal Bands.

The First Real Concert, Other Than Going With My Dad To See Three Dog Night, Was Smashing Pumpkins And Garbage. I Was Fourteen Or Fifteen. I Liked Shirley Manson Because She Reminded Me Of Annie Lennox. They Both Have These Deep, Sexy, Powerful Alto Voices.

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.
