Ben Moody Quotations

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken...

I was horribly depressed, and I felt like I had failed as a band leader, a professional, as a person.

After leaving Evanescence, I dealt with a lot of sh--, then being diagnosed as bipolar, and my heavy drug use and rehab ... this record went through all that with me, so making it was a complete catharsis, ... I'm focusing on me and getting the unhealthy things out of my life, which isn't always an easy thing to do, but that's been my main focus right now. I'm still on a journey, you know, but I'm a lot happier now. I can sleep easier.

Now it's cool to like Kelly Clarkson, so I'm in the clear, ... She's kind of popular now.

They were just unbelievable, how structured they were and her understanding of music, which is not something you would expect from a pop artist. She had these ideas already in place for songs; all I really had to do was build music around them and develop them. It was quite easy.

I definitely want to do worldwide, ... but hopefully with a better sound system.

Her album is very much what she wanted to say, and it's funny going through the process with her and knowing what these songs are about and watching her mature into what she is now an artist as opposed to an 'American Idol' winner, ... That was probably the most fun I've had on a session. She was so much fun and very laid-back, but very sincere.

Amy Lee's little brother has epilepsy, so it kind of hits close to home for me,
