"I was in this studio and I heard Prince was coming in," Reznor told Select magazine in 1994. "There was a time I thought he was awesome, but what a fucking creep! The rules were, you were never to say the word 'Prince,' you had to write down that symbol. You were never to look at him, or talk to him unless he approached you first, shit like that. So he shows up in a limo, wearing a fluorescent pink jumpsuit, giant hair, a cane, huge heels and a lollipop, and he's wearing the worst women's perfume you've ever smelt. He's got two giant bodyguards with him and there was nobody there who was gonna fuck with him! It turns out he wanted us to remix a track and make it harder — apparently, he had Broken in his car for a long time. So then I see him at the other end of this hundred yard corridor, and there's only me and him walking towards each other. So we're getting closer, closer and ... he walks right past me. I couldn't believe it — I don't care who you are, that's bullshit."

Trent Reznor’s story of being snubbed by Prince during an encounter around 1992/93. Reznor was a big Prince fan even using a sample of Alphabet Street in Pretty Hate Machine and giving Prince a shout out as an inspiration in the linear notes of Pretty Hate Machine
