I doubt I'll ever pay someone to do a remix again, because there's some amazing stuff just coming out of bedrooms.

I've always been into computers. When I was getting out of high school and forming my identity musically, all of it was really coming into the fold, computers and drum machines. It felt like, you know, I'm in the right place at the right time. I liked the collision.

Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is, 'Oh, I'm on stage playing a song,' because you're daydreaming about something else, you're on autopilot. You have to fight that.
-
In my nothing, you were everything, to me.
-
I used to buy vinyl. 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.
-
It's kind of a miracle to think that a device in your pocket can play pretty much any song that the world has ever created.
-
Sometimes we pee on each other before we go on stage.

When I was growing up, rock & roll helped give me my sense of identity, but I had to search for it.
-
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.

An integral part of any relationship is knowing that you could be killed in your sleep at any time.

The Grammys make me hate music, and certainly everyone in the ass-licking music industry.

I didn't want to be in a Pepsi commercial with R2-D2 sitting on my shoulder.
-
My moral standing is lying down.
-
Self-examination with a close-up mirror in an antiseptic environment is what Nine Inch Nails is based on.
-
You can punch a wall or write a song. Just as painful either way, but you have something to show for it at the end of the day with a song.
-
I don't have to save rock. I don't even like rock that much.
-
I think it's easy to make impenetrable music that nobody can get, and you can hide behind that sometimes.
-
It probably wasn't until Nine Inch Nails played the first Lollapalooza that I actually went to a festival.
-
I hated school . . . I freaking hated it. The fact is that it revolved around something you didn't have access to. If you weren't on the football team, if you were in the band, you were a leper. When people say those were the best years of our lives, I want to scream.
-
With 'Gone Girl,' I sat down, and suddenly the end credits were rolling; you just become so engrossed in it.

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.
