Changes

<blockquote>"You start out thinking you can change the world, but when cool people at clubs who wouldn't even talk to me were like, '"Whoah,he's got a platinum album, who's that guy?' " It was strange. I realised that the guys who beat me up in high-school were now in my audience. Money, fame, power - things I'd never had - those things are recipies recipes for massive personality distortion. In my life I was standing on the edge of a cliff about to jump off because my brain wasn't working. After ''The Downward Spiral'' I felt like I had to make the best record in the world but my addictions meant my head was packed with cotton. '"Starfuckers, Inc.' " doesn't fit in with the rest of that record, but it came from bits of lyrics I'd written over a long period and was focused at Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love. I'm not saying I haven't fallen prey to this at times, but I think in their environment your priorities can totally flip before you realise."</blockquote>
