Amy Lee: 'I Am A Total Control Freak'

Evanescence rocker Amy Lee turned herself into a control freak after growing sick of people making the wrong decisions for her.
The Fallen hitmaker became distrustful of those around her and feared bad advice would wreck the band's career.
Now she controls everything in her life and wants to focus on being happy.
She says, "I started seeing a long time ago that decisions that weren't being made by me, but around me, for me, weren't always good decisions. I had to step up and take control or everything was going to blow up in my face.
"(Now) I do everything. The music writing I am a total control freak over, and the mixing and everything we do. I've grown up in a lot of ways. I feel like I listen to Fallen and I hear me saying 'save me from the dark' now I feel like 'stop whining'. I don't want to be stuck unhappy; I want to be happy. I want to solve the problem and now it's about fixing the problem, not 'Oh poor me'."

yes..absolutely .. Amy is sich a talented and gifted girl , and she has a lot to give to her music , much more than she already gave..she should have not listened to anyone .. now she is doing the right thing by making her own decisions , cuz if u think bout it , who would want your own good and your happiness more than you want it for urself ?? NOONE , maybe others woud try to hurt u , or think of hurtin u without really actually doing it , but if it's somthing related to u , u will never ever think of harmin urself or doin bad things that woud effect u negatively , thats human , ur selfish , but this selfishness is in a good way , thats human being after all ... no one coud hurt themselves ever..so the safest place is ur heart , and the only person u shoud trust n rely on is urself .. peace Amy , u are a dream cumin true , dun let anyone blow it , you ROCK .. !!

Now this is what I want! I want to see A 'happy Amy'. I was wondering how could she become such a dark and sad person. It would be better if she think about hapy things and write about something that can motivate people. But writing about your sadness is allright. It can make you feel relieved.
