AMY THANKS: First of all, I'd like to thank Terry. I am so grateful for you. I never thought I would find someone who could finish my musical thoughts like you do. Thank you for your creativity, your patience, and most of all for supporting and encouraging me- as a writer and a friend. Dave Fortman, once again you've made the dream come true. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me to be my best, and cracking me up when I thought my brain might explode. Bro-tools forever. :) Jeremy- thanks for ruling it again! Its always a pleasure hanging out and working with you. A big thanks to the Record Plant- you were all so good to us. Rose, Mike and everyone- I miss you already! Dave Campbell- you are so gifted, and I will always look forward to working with you. You take our music to a whole new level, and it wouldn't be Evanescence without you. Thank you DJ Lethal for giving this record spooky, sexy thump! :) Also thanks again to Susan Youngblood and the Millenium choir for another beautiful job. A very special thank you to Baldwin Pianos for all of your support and for all you've given me. It's been wonderful! Thank you Diana Meltzer (my big little sister!) for your endless support and friendship. Thank you to everyone at Wind-up records for all your hard work, and for all the time and freedom I was given to create this album. Thank you Gary, Patty, and everyone at Haber Corporation. You've changed my life! Andy- you have listened to me, supported me, fought for me, and laughed with me. You're a good friend and a great manager- Thank you goodnight! John, Rocky and Will, you all did such a great job in the studio. Will, I can't imagine playing without you. We've had so much fun together and I'm gonna miss you so much. This sucks! Good luck and much love (special thanks to John, Rocky and Terry for staying in the band). I want to thank my sisters Carrie and Lori for singing background vocals on 'call me when you're sober.' You guys were awesome and it was so cool to have you hang out in the studio with me. I want to thank my girlfriends for always standing by me (and sometimes helping me stand) Beth, Faith and Tiff- I love you! (you too, Kim and Patty!) And Beth- I couldn't do this without you. You keep me sane and somehow make anywhere in the world feel more like home… Even Japan. (See-ma-sen!) Josh, you are my muse. Nothing inspires me the way you do. Thank you for all my missing pieces. Thank you for your strength and love. Thank you for letting me see myself through your eyes, because only then could I know that I am good enough for you. Thank you to all our wonderful fans and friends at the evboard. Thank you God, and last (and anything but least), my family for loving me, supporting me, accepting me, and always being my sanctuary. I love you!
