Trent Reznor Realized Quotations

The first set of lyrics for the first songs I ever wrote, which are the ones on 'Pretty Hate Machine,' came from private journal entries that I realized I was writing in lyric form.

I realized that I was afraid to really, really try something, 100%, because I had never reached true failure.

I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything.

After coming from a major label, I realized the entire business has been decimated, and you can't look to labels to try to figure it out because they don't even use the technology, and they're oblivious to how people consume music these days.
