More quotes by Ville Valo
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.
Ville Valo
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'm living my dream right now. I get to make music, perform and travel.
Ville Valo
So basically, I think music at its best can be everything. It can be totally stupid and very intellectual and emotional at the same time. I don't think all those things shut each other out.
Ville Valo
I love you is eight letters...then again, so is bullshit.
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
Yeah I'm still writing. I've got about 14 tracks now. But we've been on tour so we haven't had time to get back to a rehearsal place.
Ville Valo
I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.
Ville Valo
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.
Ville Valo
It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more
Ville Valo
I'm a huge fan of James Dean, that got me started. Nowadays I smoke four packs in a day.
Ville Valo
Some genres I'm not a huge fan of but there are always exceptions that break the rules. There are always a few people doing it in a way weird enough to grab my attention.
Ville Valo
I've got loads of ideas. I just have no idea what to do with those ideas
Ville Valo
Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.
Ville Valo
You can't create a myth on your own. People do it for you.
Ville Valo
The most important things are that you are honest with yourself and that making music comes from your heart
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
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.
Ville Valo
I love Johnny Cash but I don't love country music that much.
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.
