And last, but not least, Trent Reznor! When people say he's a human marvel, they're not kidding. Trying to even begin to describe him has left me speechless. For what can describe such a keen and impenetrable mind? His intellegence far surpasses that of "above average". With him, Nine Inch Nails is not only legend, but a mile-marker band. People cannot think of industrial rock and not think of the unique sound of NIN. And his voice could never be mistaken for anyone else. He is...a human marvel.
"I watch MTV because I am morbidly fascinated with how bad most of what I'm seeing is."
Our video was edited because I'm lying dead at the end of it. I can see that on a soap opera in the middle of the day. It's nothing mortifying like I'm riddled with bullets or falling from a building. I'm just lying on the ground. (But) that implies suicide, and we can't have that on MTV. But we can have Cher's naked ass."
Trent on what his epitaph should be: "Reznor. Died. Said 'fist fuck' and won a Grammy."
"In the old Nine Inch Nails, if we wanted to get rid of people, the guitar player and I would start making out. It was a trick. I mean, I really love women. And I don't dislike men, and there's times that I've thought about it. You get into certain scenes, and I realize I should experiment down that path, and I just haven't done it yet. I've been in situations where there's men involved, but not directly interacting."
"Videos are a necessary evil in the marketing of records today. All videos look the same and those that are controversial will not get played - it's stupid and doesn't need to be that way."
