Mr Self Destruct- On this track, from The Downward Spiral, Trent can be heard to say, "I am an exit".

In "Sanctified", during the instrumental preceding the final verse, you will hear a very quiet voice in the background. It is a sample from Oliver Stone's 'Midnight Express', one of Trent's favorite movies.-- The sample is of the main character writing a letter: "Dear Mom and Dad, this is the hardest letter I've ever had to write. I'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it, but that just isn't possible now. I don't know what's going to happen, but what can I say to you? Will 'I'm sorry' make a difference? Will it ease the pain? The shame you must be feeling? Forgive me. Please."
