We're trying to have the band create something beautiful that hopefully one day, 20 years from now, can be picked up by a kid and hopefully have the same effect that Neil Young had on me, or Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.

Talking about covers, whether visually or sonically, if a particular combination of notes struck a chord in your heart in a way that you want to be a part of it by covering that song, then there's nothing wrong with it.

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
I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.
Ville Valo
That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.

I think love keeps on changing every day. It’s not black and white and it’s definitely more than 50 shades of grey.
Ville Valo
Your tattoos are supposed to be some connection to your personality. That's a lot more important than going in and just picking one off a wall. I've never understood why people get butterflies tattooed on their bottoms or whatever. That's really weird.
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 love Johnny Cash but I don't love country music that much.
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
I have a big heart and a small brain.
Ville Valo
Love is the funeral of hearts.
Ville Valo
Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.
Ville Valo
I think if we keep on doing good music and people like us and they buy the magazine because we are in the magazine then they cant basically hate us hopefully.
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.
Ville Valo
Music is my God, and it is the only love that has never left me.
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.
Ville Valo
In my eyes, perfection is imperfection
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
Many other artists who sing about hope think that it is something every single person carries within himself. I'm not so sure if that's true. For me, hope is the little light guiding you the way, which reminds you that life does have a sense, that you have goals. To believe in that is often more easily said than done.
