If you are too lazy to read all the HIM interviews here are the best parts:

Kerrang ?/2003

Ville about smoking: "They make me sound more husky and sexy," he smiles "If I quit I´d sing like a f**king choir boy"
...
"Most European rock music sucks," he shrugs. "We´re just trying to fight back and prove that some Scandinavians can be good at what they do. But if you only have the money to buy one album right now get black Sabbath´s ´Black Sabbath´, You can get eround to our album another time."

Maybe it´s better that he smokes ... , he doesn´t seem to support own band so much LOL and the headline of the article is "Mr Loverman " btw

at home with... HIM Ville: "I`m the artist type who´d rather play acoustic guitar and have a wank than hold a vacuum cleaner in his hands" "

more from the same metal hammer: ... I think it´s still his dad who owns the shop ...:

Iltalehti 5.4.2003

Ville: "-Mulla on varsinkin se ongelma, että mä en osaa keittää riisiä. Siitä tulee aina raakaa tai ylikypsää, ihan vitun vaikeaa saada se balanssiin. Perunoita mä olen kyl keittänyt, ja se menee ihan fiiliksellä."

english translation: "I have the problem that I don´t know how to cook rise. It´s always too raw or overripe, it´s so fucking hard to get it into balance. I have cooked potatoes, and that goes easily with vibes."

You are one of the few bands who enjoy commercial success…
Ville: “Despite playing really shitty music” (ha ha)

Ville: “People shouldn`t be trying to shape their egos, minds and souls because of fame, money, or fake messages. You should be what you are, and if you have something to say, say it, even though it may be stupid for some people. Honesty it always a good thing, you can never lose. When you are at the gates of Heaven, it is better to be judged on the things you have done rather than the things you have been compromising in your life. Rather be what you are and truthful to yourself. It is hard, and nobody is like that all their lives, but it`s a good thing to try at least.”

poor truth about their money situation at the time when Join me became a hit:
Ville: "Istuimme basistimme Migen kanssa Soda -nimisessä ravintolassa ja olisimme halunneet juhlistaa ykköstilaa jakamalla yhden oluen keskenämme, mutta rahaa ei ollut riittävästi. Piti pummata kavereilta."

in english : " I was sitting at restaurant called Soda with Mige and we wanted to celeprate our number one position by charing one beer, but we didn´t have money. We had to borrow from friends."

Do you remember the first ever HIM gig, can you tell us about it?
First gig we ever played was in Club Teatro in Helsinki. My bro owned it and I was working there so we just went and supported a famous finnish singer/songwriter Kauko Röyhkä without asking permission. He didn´t mind that, but he DID mind the wires I had constructed for the PA-system. Didn´t work too well you see, and that´s what they call a Bummer in English-speaking countries. But that's between me and Kake, and I think he forgot about it by now.

Ville's Top Ten Rules for Sex
3. Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness
"Always remember to take a shower before sex. Our bass player never showers. He dosn't brush his teeth either, so it's pretty easy for us to know if he's been doing something, uh, dirty. You can smell it. And our drummer wanks on the tour bus which I don't consider to be a healthy pursuit, paticulary since we're always passing out drunk in each other's bunks. You don't know what you've slept on."

9. 'Self-Love' Is Good Love
"Wanking is always a good thing, especially on tour. It relaxes you, and I don't want to have wet dreams, especially on the tour bus. we get hotel rooms every now and then, so we're like 'save your wanking for that'. Which might explain why out Pay TV bills are always huge."
