More quotes by Trent Reznor
For each film, you try to create a whole world sonically, having a sense of identity through instruments used, or recording techniques.
Trent Reznor
To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.
Trent Reznor
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.'
Trent Reznor
I realized that I was afraid to really, really try something, 100%, because I had never reached true failure.
Trent Reznor
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
Trent Reznor
I'll name check Radiohead on this--they've done a pretty suave marketing plan on this new record. I think generally it's been a pretty cool thing, but what they've done is used those (sales) numbers in a way that they can spin them anyway they want cause you don't know what they are.
Trent Reznor
I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt.
Trent Reznor
Any time I sit down and write music, the first part of that is always centering myself and thinking about who I currently am.
Trent Reznor
An integral part of any relationship is knowing that you could be killed in your sleep at any time.
Trent Reznor
There's something exciting and incredibly liberating for an artist to finish something Friday night and the world hears it Friday night instead of eight months later after marketing people and all those assholes get involved.
Trent Reznor
I become irritated when I am being written off as aloof or stand-offish when I'm shy and don't know what to say.
Trent Reznor
Today's political climate does not allow the luxury of apathy.
Trent Reznor
The result of a public that has a very high consumption rate and turnover rate is people listen to more music but spend less time with individual bits of music. It's made me more likely to put things up quickly and treat it more like a magazine instead of a novel.
Trent Reznor
Being human is a lot more difficult than being on tour.
Trent Reznor
I want to do something that matters.
Trent Reznor
I'd never want to be Gene Simmons, an old man who puts on makeup to entertain kids, like a clown going to work.
Trent Reznor
I write most of my songs when I'm in a bad mood.
Trent Reznor
Though I still have no semblance of a life outside of Nine Inch Nails at the moment, I realize my goals have gone from getting a record deal or selling another record to being a better person, more well-rounded, having friends, having a relationship with somebody.
Trent Reznor
I do actually believe in love. I can't say that I'm 100 percent successful in that department, but I think it's one of the few worthwhile human experiences. It's cooler than anything I can think of right now.
Trent Reznor
Sometimes I think I spend my whole life trying to figure out where I fit in.
