Making an album is always a puzzle: you start by seeing a lot of different pieces, and they all need to come together into one picture. ”

When a pregnancy begins, those cells begin their mitosis, and during the first three months, everything from limbs to organs to the brain and neurological system is being developed, and I never realized that would consume so much energy: it drains every bit of energy you have, and your hormonal status is changed dramatically! ”

Now, when you've been in the band for three years, you get used to the position, in a sense. I don't think about it every day like, 'Oh my God, I'm the singer of Nightwish!' ”

No... I don't like Slayer. ”

I am a humble person. ”

I'm not the kind of singer that's always super, super careful. ”

It's not so surprising that there are more women in metal bands. And they're not just fronting them. There are drummers and guitar players, bass players. ”

I don't always have to be the best. Things don't always have to be perfect. ”

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. ”

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. ”
