I'm living my dream right now. I get to make music, perform and travel.

It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more.

Women are always beautiful.

Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.

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.

Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.

Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song.

Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.

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.
