    Emilie Autumn
    “Studies show:
    Intelligent girls are more depressed
    Because they know
    What the world is really like
    Don't think for a beat it makes it better
    When you sit her down and tell her
    Everything gonna be all right
    She knows in society she either is
    A devil or an angel with no in between
    She speaks in the third person
    So she can forget that she's me”

    Emilie Autumn
    “Well, I’ve been a musician my whole life. When I was two, I would sing the theme from Star Wars in my crib; my mom taped it for proof. Then, when I was five, I asked for a violin. No one knew why I would want one, but my wish was granted and I ended up a classically trained fiddler by age 12. The only problem with that was, when you’re a classical violinist, everybody expects you to be satisfied with playing Tchaikovsky for the rest of your life, and saying you want to play jazz, rock, write songs, sing your songs, hook up your fiddle to a guitar amp, sleep with your 4-track recorder, mess around with synths, dress like Tinkerbell in combat boots, AND play Tchaikovsky is equivalent to spitting on the Pope.”
    Emilie Autumn

Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.”
