A Day in the Life of… Evanescence’s Amy Lee

apologizing

Plenty.

brooding

Life's too short to dwell on things you can't change. When something's bothering me I write a song.... or worst case scenario, deal with the problem.

cursing

Lets see, I admitted to 9 hours in bed so... 15!

daydreaming

No time for that lately!

gaming

About an hour a day, 30 minutes in my bunk before I start to get ready for the show, and 30 minutes before I fall asleep at night. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for 3DS. Ok I wont lie, this could go on for way longer if I'm on a tough level.

gossiping

At least an hour a day is absolutely unavoidable!

hairdying

30 minutes or so. Straightening takes longer. My hair is a frizzy mess naturally.

headbanging

Approximately 1 and a half hours a day. Make it three if we have a great show and keep the vibe alive backstage!

hoarding

Zero. There's something very freeing about throwing away the junk you don't need. I pack light.

jazzercising

For about 20 minutes before going onstage. I get increasingly antsy and start jumping around to whatever music the guys are listening to.

kvetching

Haha! WTF is that??

obsessing

Haha. 24 hours

partying

If we have an especially awesome show, up to 4 hours. I try to limit it though to save my voice.

planking

Isn't that just sleeping in an uncomfortable place? Yeah so, 9 hours!

praying

Hard to measure that. Its more like an internal monologue throughout the day. More if it's a hard day.

primping

Constantly if its a press or shoot day. But it's Beth (my hair and makeup artist) doing it to me! Hardly a minute goes by off-camera without a pencil in my eye and a brush in my hair.

rehearsing

Right now we're on the road, so the only rehearsal we really do is soundcheck. About 30 minutes. When we're getting ready for a tour, we rehearse about 5 hours a day for a week or so.

scheming

Depends on who's birthday is coming up! I love planning surprises.

shopping

Definitely don't get a chance to do this everyday! I'm a speed shopper, too. I like to see how fast I can get out with all the coolest stuff in the store. Give me 30 minutes and I can do some serious damage in a good place.

sleeping

OK. I LOVE sleep. 9 hours makes me feel awesome. But I work pretty hard and don't always get that much! Sometimes it takes my mind a long time to shut up at night.
