Ville Valo Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von 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.

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

There's always reasons to make mistakes. Because then you do new mistakes next time. So they're beautiful mistakes.

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 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 living my dream right now. I get to make music, perform and travel.

Ville Valo

I've always been a huge reggae fan.

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

Love is the funeral of hearts.

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

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

Unfortunately we just toured the East and West coasts so we didn't run into any rednecks.

Ville Valo

I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.

Ville Valo

I love Johnny Cash but I don't love country music that much.

Ville Valo

Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.

Ville Valo

Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.

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'm a huge fan of James Dean, that got me started. Nowadays I smoke four packs in a day.

Ville Valo

I have never acted in one and I'm not at all interested to do so either.

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'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

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 the Ronettes, the 'do-run-run-run' pop stuff. I love the lyrics, having 'blue, blue blue' being repetitive.

Ville Valo

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
