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.
Ville ValoI 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 ValoI 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 ValoThe most important things are that you are honest with yourself and that making music comes from your heart
