Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails are out promoting their new record
Year Zero. But, they seem to shun methods that certain "artists" employ to gain attention like not wearing panties or stopping by key Hollywood clubs. However, Reznor did sit down with Revolver Magazine to discuss a range of topics, including the "look at me I'm famous" aspects of Hollywood culture. Here are some excerpts:
On the L.A. celebrity scene: "I didn't go to L.A. for the culture, I moved there to be around my peers. You don't see me out, or see pictures of me shopping. I'm repulsed by it, to be quite frank."
On the option of making pop records: "When the day comes that I have to hire the flavor of the day to write my records, stick a fork in me."
On life after addiction: "When you're an addict, you feel like your problems are the biggest problems in the world. I'm not saying I can change the world, but now I feel like it's my duty as a human to try and do something."
The full interview appears in the June issue of
Revolver, which is on news stands now.
