"The most important thing is be yourself"

[Thomas]

Amy was interviewd by Al Día to talk about her career, personal life and the band's first concert in Costa Rica.

What have you heard about Costa Rica? Will you have time to know the country?
We've never been there before, I've heard some things about the country and we're really excited to go there, I hope we can visit some beaches.

There aren't so many female-fronted rock bands, do you think that's a good thing or the people see it as something negative?
I hope it's a good thing, I don't care if you're a man or a woman, the most important thing is be yourself and feel comfortable with it.

Many band members have left the band since its foundation, why it has been so hard to keep the band together?
Well, we're together for 7 years now.

You design your outfits, what inspires you?
I don't know, it's hard to describe a style, I'm a creative person, I love to create things, design different clothes when I'm on tour. I'm inspired by the countries I visit, one of the stage outfits I designed is the one with all the flags from the countries we've visited last year.

What's the most meaningful song for you?
None, I love all the songs, the last record "Evanescence" is so different, I can't pick only one song, cause they all are different. For example, I love "Swimming Home", it has a special place in my heart, but at the same time I love "Never Go Back", because it's so dramatic, one way or another, the whole album describes my career and myself.

How's your life when you're not touring or making a record?
It's really different, I like to learn about cultures and languages, but that's tiring, so it's hard to have a normal life when I'm at home, I'm used to spent time creating, making music, and painting. I love my house, I live in New York, so even when I'm home, I experience other cultures, because there are so many in NY.

Do you have plans to release a solo record?
I don't know if it's gonna be a record or something, I'm not sure what we're gonna do next.
