More quotes by Ville Valo
Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song.
Ville Valo
I have never acted in one and I'm not at all interested to do so either.

In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot, we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.

I have 4 kids already, I don’t need anymore. I’m a single parent. I’m taking them through Europe and make them play funny instruments.
Ville Valo
I hate it when bands do that they're so proud of their new album, they have to play all of it and a couple of golden oldies.

Every girl has something beautiful in her soul. It doesn't matter if she's fat or thin. That has nothing to do with her personality.
Ville Valo
There's always reasons to make mistakes. Because then you do new mistakes next time. So they're beautiful mistakes.
Ville Valo
It's like that with what sort of ideas people outside of the band have of HIM. They all see it through a different lens as well which is beautiful. Hopefully, it makes it an endless topic of conversation.

I like to listen to mellow stuff on the road like Travis, as we are constantly surrounded by rock music on tour and so its nice listening to mellow stuff. Obviously back at home I listen to a lot more rock music.
Ville Valo
I love the song 'Into the Night.' It's Roy Orbison meets David Lynch meets Iggy Pop on amphetamines. It has a punk edge that is not HIM, per se. It is super melodic and super '60s, and that is very new to me and it is a sense of achievement to me.
Ville Valo
Los Angeles and New York are the big centers of the music industry worldwide so of course it can be hard for newcomers who don't know what to expect from the music business.
Ville Valo
Hopefully it will be possible to get all our other albums in American shops one day so if people are interested they can hear it but I'm hoping that people are going to be interested in what we are going to do, not just what we've done.
Ville Valo
We started playing music from an early age and so we wasn't really aware of that side of it, the weird thing is the more successful you get the more free booze and drugs you get, they should be given to the bands who don't have the money.
Ville Valo
Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.
Ville Valo
Music for me is an emotional thing and it really does make me happy. It's not a tool for me to get fame or see my face in the papers or anything like that. It's about the fact that I really do enjoy it.
Ville Valo
Love is the funeral of hearts.
Ville Valo
I haven't travelled that much before so this is the first time I get to see the big cities of Europe. I've never even been to US.
Ville Valo
I'm only 26 - I don't know anything about life yet. Life is like a puzzle and my pieces are spread all over the world.
Ville Valo
The guys in Kiss use some make up too so at first it was exiting. I've almost stopped using make-up nowadays.
Ville Valo
I need a soul mate so that I can be who I am, naked. I want there to be someone who picks up my heavy, bleeding heart and takes it somewhere safe and warm.
