"People don’t know what to do when someone’s having [an epileptic] seizure. People freak out if someone is having a seizure. They think there’s something wrong with them or they’re on drugs or demon-possessed. I think, especially in young people, we have enough against us to make us feel awkward and different that things like that we should be able to understand because it’s totally not that weird. We all have our little differences and quirks about us. And I want to spread awareness. It’s really common.” — Evanescence singer Amy Lee tells Karen Bliss of Samaritanmag, 2011.
