Trent Reznor Quotes

I do remember my first purchase: the Partridge Family’s ‘Greatest Hits.’ I got it for $3.99 at a failed chain of pre-Wal-Mart-type stores called Jamesway. God, I’m old Picture Quote #1

I’m just trying to figure out the right balance between making fans feel good and also maintaining some dignity for myself in the process Picture Quote #1

My life has been many examples of shortsighted goals that I thought would fix things. You know, if there’s something broken inside me, if there’s a hole in there, I thought: If I could just write a good song someday, then I’d be OK. You know, if I could just be on stage in front of people I’d never seen before and be validated by them Picture Quote #1

And when the day arrives I’ll become the sky and I’ll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now Picture Quote #1

I thought my goal in life was to be in a successful band, and I had got that, but I was as miserable as I had ever been, and I couldn’t understand why that would be Picture Quote #1

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t think music should be free Picture Quote #1

I spent a long time experimenting, saying, ‘Here’s a record that’s free, or $5 if you want a nice version or $250 if you’d like a really nice coffee-table thing.’ Everything felt like the right thing to do at the time and then six months later would feel tired. And I would feel tired. So that’s one reason for returning to a major label Picture Quote #1

The first set of lyrics for the first songs I ever wrote, which are the ones on ‘Pretty Hate Machine,’ came from private journal entries that I realized I was writing in lyric form Picture Quote #1

I’ve attended many concerts where I felt let down and I was wishing it would be something else. Not that it’s their duty to please me, but at the same time, I think a lot about what it’s like through the eyes of the consumer, the fan. I want not to pander to the audience, but to be aware of them Picture Quote #1

Now U2’s not my favorite band, but I do respect them, and in the same way I respect Bowie: They change without fear of change Picture Quote #1

My advice today, to established acts and new-coming acts, is the same advice I’d give to myself: pause for a minute, and really think about ‘What is your goal? Where do you see yourself?’ Picture Quote #1

I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries, to explore. My life experience came from watching movies, TV, and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday, you’re bombarded with images of things that seem cool, places that seem interesting, people who have jobs and careers and opportunities Picture Quote #1

Making noise is easy; making stuff people understand is an easy thing to do Picture Quote #1

What I was concerned about when I wrote the ‘Downward Spiral’ record was being a self-centred destructive force. The point was tearing down everything in a search for something else Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle, and just enticing people to hear the music for free doesn’t mean that much when everyone else is essentially doing the same thing on MySpace, or wherever Picture Quote #1

I like the idea of subversively communicating with people... so that you make people see things in different ways Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned to recognize, a lot of it forced through the process of recovery, that I’m wired wrong in certain ways; the chemical balance of my brain is off in terms of depression a little bit Picture Quote #1

I think my music’s more disturbing than Tupac’s - or at least I thought some of the themes of ‘The Downward Spiral’ were more disturbing on a deeper level - you know, issues about suicide and hating yourself and God and people and everything else Picture Quote #1

One step closer to the end of the world. The one-two combo of corporate greed and organised religion apparently proved to be too much for reason, sanity and compassion Picture Quote #1

I thought Big Sur would be a great break after the tour. You’d walk down this rickety ladder to this not-very-pretty beach scene; crashing waves, moss-covered rocks, weird ocean life. It was scary. It summed up alot of things in my life, like ‘I should be enjoying this, but I’m not Picture Quote #1

People are always saying, ‘You’re really nice, I thought you were going to be a complete asshole.’ I’m getting pretty fed up with it. I just want to say to them, ‘Well I could always piss on your head.’ Picture Quote #1

God is DEAD, and no one cares! If there is a hell I’ll see you there! Picture Quote #1

I had to come to terms about becoming an addict, which, for a long time, I lied to myself about the status of until I couldn’t lie any more, ‘cause I was either going to die or get better Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we pee on each other before we go on stage Picture Quote #1

In my nothing, you were everything, to me Picture Quote #1

I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything Picture Quote #1

I write most of my songs when I’m in a bad mood Picture Quote #1

The least responsive audience I can ever remember playing to Picture Quote #1

All I’ve undergone I will keep on Picture Quote #1

If you have something to say, then say it. Express yourself and break the rules Picture Quote #1
