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 didn't have any role models really. My best friend was a dog. My mum and dad saved a dog from the gutter and that dog was my brother before Jesse was born. Sami was his name and he was my role model.

I love you is eight letters...then again, so is bullshit.

In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot, we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.

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.

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

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.
