When I was growing up, the people who liked the Beatles, I didn't like, so I didn't pay attention to them.
From Trent Reznor
It probably wasn't until Nine Inch Nails played the first Lollapalooza that I actually went to a festival.
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.
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.
When I was growing up, rock & roll helped give me my sense of identity, but I had to search for it.
The band Grizzly Bear, I think they're excellent. There's a beauty and a musicality there that I wish would have been in vogue in the late '80s, when I was forming bands.
My life has two modes. One is sitting around writing and contemplating or building things. The other is execution mode. It takes a while to switch from one to the other.
I love David Fincher and I think he's a genius.
Any time I sit down and write music, the first part of that is always centering myself and thinking about who I currently am.
I like the idea of subversively communicating with people... so that you make people see things in different ways.
