More quotes by Billy Corgan
I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.
Billy Corgan
I've been too productive for too long, and despite what anybody wants to strip away from me, I am influential. I am.
Billy Corgan
It's important for people to talk and get beyond the wall of Facebook and social media.
Billy Corgan
Heavy metal is a universal energy -- it's the sound of a volcano. It's rock, it's earth shattering. Somewhere in our primal being we understand.
Billy Corgan
I'll come in with a string of riffs and direct the musical ideas. But you still need a band and their input to make the ideas come alive. You can't underestimate band chemistry.
Billy Corgan
When I've tried to reinvent the wheel, I get bashed for not doing the familiar things.
Billy Corgan
We weren't like mates who decided to form a band. The other three met me because they were interested in being in the band that I was starting.
Billy Corgan
I feel like I'm always fighting not to repeat myself.
Billy Corgan
I work differently than most people.
Billy Corgan
What has gone on in my childhood, and the personal problems that we've had in the band, have given a lot of people hope. (It shows) if you keep your nose pointed straight you can actually get somewhere -- to a happy place.
Billy Corgan
It's about the girlfriend who left me last year. I tried to put all my anger in those words, even though I'm just as much to blame for the break-up. 'Soma' is based on the idea that a love relationship is almost the same as opium: it slowly puts you to sleep, it soothes you, and gives you the illusion of sureness and security. Very deceivable.
Billy Corgan
Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n' roll.
Billy Corgan
If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan
The simplest way that I can understand therapy is that we're born a certain way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives trying to unravel it.
Billy Corgan
Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.
Billy Corgan
I'm not going to die glamorously. I'll probably be eating a Twinkie, take a bite, and fall over.
Billy Corgan
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
My view of the world is always tempered by the fact that there are people who are less fortunate than I am.
Billy Corgan
Fur is a contentious issue. Meat is a contentious issue. GMOs are a contentious issue. I think this whole thing going on about whether or not products should be labeled if they have GMOs in them - I, as a consumer, would like to know if I'm eating GMO food. If I choose to buy it then it's my choice.
Billy Corgan
My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.
