I grew up in the suburbs and basically associate the suburbs with cultural death.
Billy Corgan
Like any form of death, at some point you just have to get up and say yeah I'll take it, whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen and sorta chop your head off. It's easy to avoid all that...there's always another moment, another girl, another high, another drug, there's always something to distract you.
Billy Corgan
I never seemed to fit in. But it made me try to strive for things ten times harder.
Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
