Nine Inch Nails was an experiment with me in discipline. I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything. Schoolwork came easy to me. I learned to play piano effortlessly. I was coasting. I realized that I was afraid to really, really try something, 100 percent, because I had never reached true failure.

I think there's something strangely musical about noise.

And when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now.

I feel uncomfortable because I'm insecure about who I am.

I just want something I can never have.

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.

Bow down before the one you serve, You're going to get what you deserve.

In my nothing , you were everything , to me.

I've become impossible, holding on to when everything seemed to matter more.
