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 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>
==Live==
"Starfuckers, Inc." has been was played live since at the vast majority of shows on the [[Fragility]] tour, usually at a significantly faster tempo.  During the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour, the song was performed at about one-third of the shows, mostly early ones. Reznor stopped the song and skipped the breakdown, bantering to the audience before going right into the song's finale. "Starfuckers, Inc." made rare appearances on the [[Performance 2007]] tour, and featured at at two shows on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]] where that tour's production was unavailable. In 2018, "Starfuckers, Inc." returned for four shows on the [[Cold And Black and Infinite Tour]].
