- I really like to meet people, but only when I have the energy for it.
- The most metal? Some would say Slayer, but I think they're a dreadful band. Unbelievably boring. Terrible. Apparently it's not metal to say that, but it's a personal opinion.
- It's good to reflect on life and take a step back and sit and relax and do something else.
- For me, I'm way more at home in heavy metal than I am in classical music.
- Everybody needs to take a little distance from things.
- To be honest, I deliberately tend not to post things like 'I'm having a relationship' or where I live. I'm a bit reluctant to keep this kind of information up to date because people are inclined to see things like that as statements, and I rather keep a little bit of privacy, if possible at all.
- Who on earth would expect a band such as Nightwish, to give you, of all people, the phone call, 'Hey, can you come and join us now?' Yeah, that turned everything upside down.
- I'm studying Finnish, and it's one of the five most difficult languages in the world. And the more I learn, the more I realize that's definitely true.
- Not everyone is as equally as adventurous as me. I get that.
- I had a general burnout. I got extremely tired, I couldn't do anything anymore. I canceled tours, I cancelled everything in my life. For a year and a half, I was completely sick. I couldn't do anything. So yeah, I wanted to write about it in my lyrics. 'Anatomy Of A Nervous Breakdown' is really about that, the inspiration behind it.
- Both the guys in Nightwish and I have experiences with previous band breakups and all emotions that come with it. It's almost like dating.
- I don't need to be the singer of Nightwish 24/7 when I'm not touring or when I want to go to the supermarket in my comfy pants.
- Nightwish is my band, and so is Revamp. They both get my 100 percent, which is why I also cannot do them both at the same time. They're both my babies.
- I don't even really like it, the style of singing implemented. Opera, I've tried. I started hearing it, of course with Nightwish, having Tarja in the band. That for many singers was like, 'What's this?' It was interesting for me, and I realized I had the voice for it, but to really go with the classical stuff was not my thing.
