More quotes by Billy Corgan
Rock in the mainstream culture has lost a lot of its mojo.
Billy Corgan
Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.
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
The ideology of the Smashing Pumpkins was ultimately more valuable than the music of the Smashing Pumpkins. That's what critics can't put their finger on.
Billy Corgan
I'm a Pisces, and Pisces have this weird inability to be completely spontaneous. We're too conscious of our actions. I've always been way too sensible for my own good.
Billy Corgan
I rummage around in artistic things from the past. If you don't understand the context, they wouldn't make any sense. I rummage around in conceptual ideas of the future, but if you don't know the source of the thinking, [it] wouldn't make any sense.
Billy Corgan
Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs.
Billy Corgan
People try to make a big deal, like I don't want to play my old songs. That's not it. I don't want to play my old songs if that's my only option. That's a different thing.
Billy Corgan
Saturn Return is just the return of your planets to their original position.
Billy Corgan
I feel like I'm always fighting not to repeat myself.
Billy Corgan
I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.
Billy Corgan
Beware of those angels with their wings glued on.
Billy Corgan
I'm from a lower middle class background all my family were immigrants.
Billy Corgan
There are people out there who are older who are cool. I want that.
Billy Corgan
Being overly identified with [a certain period of time] becomes a noose around your neck, and people don't want you to grow up, they don't want you to change, they don't want you to evolve.
Billy Corgan
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
Billy Corgan
Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that.
Billy Corgan
I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.
Billy Corgan
We are the most beloved and hated band in the world.
Billy Corgan
