A revista Kerrang! fez uma pequena entrevista com o Trent Reznor sobre o “Kerrang Awards” em que o NIN ganhou como ícone do ano.
Aqui está:

- How are you feeling?
Trent Reznor: “I have a weird social anxiety and I’ve never, ever attended an awards ceremony for anything, this is the first one.”

- What made you make an exception?
Trent: “I felt somewhat of an obligation because I was flattered that you honoured me with this. But the whole backslapping…I don’t know a lot of the bands here and I hate a lot of the other bands to be quite honest with you.”

- How did you prepare your speech?
Trent: “I didn’t at all, and if you heard my speech you’d know that there was zero degree of preparation involved! But you want to know what I’d LIKE to say? I think that when I got signed you were encouraged to change the world and do something different and really try to make art, and that really wasn’t that long ago. And it seems like now all anybody tries to do is get famous and get rich, and record companies are encouraging that because they want everything to sounds like what’s selling because they need to make money. There’re far too many musician willing to suck dicks to get that limelight and as a result, the music is shitty,. There’s a whole slew of people here that I hope are here because they want to be famous and that’s not the best music they can make, otherwise they should kill themselves immediately.”
