We've put extra effort into developing this program as an effective way to ensure that Nine Inch Nails fans get into the show with the best possible tickets. The only complaints will be from scalpers and those who want to put our true fans at a disadvantage.

Being a rock & roll star has become as legitimate a career option as being an astronaut or a policeman or a fireman.

When David Fincher called me up a few years ago and said, 'Hey, I'd like you to score this film 'The Social Network,' I said, 'I'm flattered, but I really don't have any real experience scoring films, and I'd rather not screw it up on a high-profile project. And I like you and I don't want to compromise our friendship.'

I thought I'd reached the bottom a few times, but then I'd realise there was another 30 floors of despair below that.

I foolishly thought that if I just 'made it' then everything would be okay. And everything wasn't okay.

I'd never want to be Gene Simmons, an old man who puts on makeup to entertain kids, like a clown going to work.
