Quotes by Amy Lee
Amy Lee's insights on:
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 R&B and indie rock. I love indie rock more than a lot of the commercial stuff that you'd expect.
My biggest dream from the beginning – besides Evanescence – is scoring film and writing music for film.
I’m not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.
I feel like for me the lyric writing really comes from just what’s going on in my heart and that’s what consumes me; think a lot of our heart is relationships. Not just with boyfriend or girlfriend but all your relationships in your life with other people and our interactions with other humans.
The way that I’ve always gone about making music, the rule of thumb, has just been to make what I love.
Whether it’s a relationship or what you’re wearing, or how much you weigh and what you said when you didn’t mean it, like – it’s hard to be totally under the microscope.
