 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. |
| 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'm living my dream right now. I get to make music, perform and travel. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Well, for us, it's always better not to have too many expectations and to just go with the flow because then it's always a big plus no matter what happens. |
| I love Johnny Cash but I don't love country music that much. |
| The guys in Kiss use some make up too so at first it was exiting. I've almost stopped using make-up nowadays. |
| 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. |
| I have never acted in one and I'm not at all interested to do so either. |
| 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'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds. |
| Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion. |
| There's always reasons to make mistakes. Because then you do new mistakes next time. So they're beautiful mistakes. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
