"And then Tarja came out with those legendary lines, and that's when I knew there was no going back: ‘Remember Tuomas, that I don't need Nightwish for my career any more'."
Tuomas Holopainen
"Tarja and Marcelo's arbitrary cancellations of gigs and those insane demands were obviously something that didn't fit into our conception of democracy. In that respect, Nightwish was an out-and-out tyranny."
Jukka Nevalainen
"When Marcelo is around, Tarja doesn't lift a finger for the band, but when he's not there she laughs and jokes, and she takes part, and we all have a helluva good time together."
Tuomas Holopainen
"Of course I would have wished that I could have spoken out more, but maybe it wasn't part of what we were that we shared feelings like that."
Tarja Turunen
"We might have been able to sort all this out by talking it through. But Nightwish isn't a talking band."
Emppu Vuorinen
"Tarja just never got it, never understood her status in the band properly. Considering how little she did for the band, she should have shown a lot more humility."
Tuomas Holopainen
"It was high time to announce that the doings of Tarja and her manager no longer had anything that justified their being anything to do with anything as cool as Nightwish."
Jukka Nevalainen
"They had a clear plan they followed: they were setting up the chick's solo career."
