I've always been a huge reggae fan.

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.

Music is my God, and it is the only love that has never left me.

Life is short and love is over in the morning.

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.

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.

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