More quotes by 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
The most important things are that you are honest with yourself and that making music comes from your heart
Ville Valo
Let's put it this way: the glass is half-empty, but the fact is, I can always get another drink
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.

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
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 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.

Women are always beautiful.

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
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
Women aren't objects that you look at only on weekends.
Ville Valo
Life is short and love is over in the morning.
Ville Valo
I've always been a huge reggae fan.
Ville Valo
I haven't been baptised. My dad's not in the church and is not a religious person. My mum is more spiritual - she does Thai-chi and goes to Stonehenge and things like that. I'm proud to be pagan. Finland is not really a religious country. I'm still looking for my god.
Ville Valo
I've got asthma. When I was 17 I forgot to take my medication and was taken to a hospital for almost two weeks. After that I've taken better care of my illness.
Ville Valo
I have a big heart and a small brain.
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.
Ville Valo
You can't create a myth on your own. People do it for you.
Ville Valo
I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.
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.
