I 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.
I have a big heart and a small brain.
Love is madness, you can’t put it in doses, it either surges over or under.
Life is short and love is over in the morning.
Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.
I’m a huge fan of James Dean, that got me started. Nowadays I smoke four packs in a day.
I have never acted in one and I’m not at all interested to do so either.
I’m a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.
I’m living my dream right now. I get to make music, perform and travel.
Unfortunately we just toured the East and West coasts so we didn’t run into any rednecks.
I’ve got asthma. When I was 17 I forgot to take my medication and was taken to a hospital for almost two weeks. After that I’ve taken better care of my illness.
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.
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 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.
Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.
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.
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.
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.
I’ve always been a huge reggae fan.
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.
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.
