For me, my 'will to power,' I guess, is just to live a positive life and spread positivity as much as possible to other people and other living beings and hope that with whatever audience I have for my voice, I can actually do some good in the world.

Adrenaline really numbs out all pain.
-
When I hear from fans that they not only like the music but they're also very touched by the lyrics, or they also learned about a specific cause because of me, that's really rewarding.
-
I love doing clean singing, which is one of the main things that drives me back to Kamelot all the time.
-
It's fun for me, and I love singing Arch Enemy stuff without clean singing, but I think it would be cool to introduce it. It's just a matter of if it feels right.
-
For some reason, people don't want to see a girl onstage. Whether it's a girl or a guy, if you like the music, who cares?
-
We don't follow trends; I don't think we even set trends. We just do our own thing. We just do what we love. That's why Arch Enemy sounds like that.

Women in general have to think about certain things that men don't - like being safe in the street at night or something.

Some people are really surprised that I can sing different ways.
-
I have a hard time writing happy things. I really just don't find it that interesting for me personally to write about that.
-
I want to help everyone.
-
I don't want to die. I can't wrap my head around the concept of death because I'm totally atheist. There's nothing after life in my head, whether that's right or wrong.
-
I have a lot of people I think are important to me, a lot of different causes I like to talk about also.

I think that metal has always been, in my opinion, the most passionate form of music, and it only makes sense to actually be passionate about what you're saying when you're delivering music to people, whether it's through an album or for a live show.
-
I do think image is important in a band, because when I go see a show, I want to see a show; I don't want to just listen to the music.
-
Playing with my sister - we always had musical instruments lying around the house.
-
I've worked as a singer in metal bands for over ten years now, so I've definitely kind of put in my time building that underground family, that underground, loyal fan base.
-
The way I see it, I am lucky to be alive and well, and I only wish the same for others.
-
Touring, it's really difficult to actually make a band work, and I think that's why there's so few bands that do work, actually, 'cause there's so much that goes into it.

I really like writing poetry and lyrics because it's one thing where I give up control. I don't feel like I need to be in control of it. I just sort of let it happen, and then I know when it's done. I know when it's finished.
