On whether she has spoken to her friend, former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen, about their shared experience of fronting the band and the circumstances that led to Tarja‘s departure from the group:

Floor: “Not really. No. Because I feel everyone is different. Time and times have been different. People grow, people change. And I don’t wanna go down that road. I’d rather see what happens around me and be in the here and the now with the people I work with and don’t go behind backs and [say], ‘How was it for you? What happened?’ You know. I don’t do that.”

On whether she has any fears that, due to the band’s troubled history with lead vocalists, her time with NIGHTWISH will not last very long:

Floor: “No. And whether this is in NIGHTWISH or in anything with anyone in everyone’s lives, what guarantees do you have? So it’s just about what you make of it and with the chemistry that you believe in. And I believe in the chemistry that we have today, ’cause it’s been very strong since the beginning and grew to be better throughout the months. It’s still a very recent thing. But what feels good now, that’s where you should go from, and that’s what I do.”
