Schoolwork came easy to me. I learned to play piano effortlessly. I was coasting.

I think it's just an awkward time right now to be a musician.

My input for the first 16, 17 years of my life was AM radio, FM radio - pretty mainstream stuff. Rolling Stone was probably as edgy as it got.

From Trent Reznor

You know, if nobody knows who you are, nobody's going to buy your record.

From Trent Reznor

Today, if you do put out a record on a label, traditionally, most people are going to hear it via a leak that happens two weeks - if not two months - before it comes out. There's no real way around that.

From Trent Reznor

I don't have a family. I'd like to have one. I just haven't somehow gotten around to it yet.

From Trent Reznor

Anyone who's an executive at a record label does not understand what the Internet is, how it works, how people use it, how fans and consumers interact - no idea. I'm surprised they know how to use e-mail.

From Trent Reznor

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't think music should be free.

From Trent Reznor

I often find myself listening to a record because a lot of people or magazines have told me it's good and I'm supposed to like it, and I try to stay in touch with what's happening and I'm also a fan of music. I find myself trying to like something that I really don't think is that great.

From Trent Reznor

It's one thing to sit back and say, 'Hey let's play a club, that will be great,' but then you get there and say, 'Hey wait, this is the dressing room? Where's my dressing room?'
