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.
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.
