- Ville Valo was born on November 22, 1976 in Helsinki, Finland. He is an actor and composer, known for Transformers (2007), Restless (2000) and Honey Baby (2004).
- Gothic lyrics with a lot of symbolism
- The Heartagram
- Deep baritone voice.
- Lead singer of HIM.
- Valo means light in Finnish
- When Valo cried as an infant his father would play Tapio Rautavaara's "Sininen Uni ('The Blue Dream')" for him, and his mother would take him into her arms and dance. At this, baby Ville would cease to cry.
- He is half Finnish and half Hungarian.
- Love is the funeral of hearts. Falling in love is the best way to kill your heart because then it's not yours anymore. It's laid in a coffin, waiting to be cremated.
- In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot, we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.
- Women are always beautiful.
- Music for me is an emotional thing and it really does make me happy. It's not a tool for me to get fame or see my face in the papers or anything like that. It's about the fact that I really do enjoy it.
- So basically, I think music at its best can be everything. It can be totally stupid and very intellectual and emotional at the same time. I don't think all those things shut each other out.
