Billy Corgan
I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.
Billy Corgan
I like my home and I like the nature.
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
As long as you have faith, you're willing to try to take another chance. God wants you to amble toward the right spot on the horizon. The idea is that you're willing to get up and keep moving toward that light.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.
Billy Corgan
It seems to me that references to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin meant more to me a year ago and all those old things are totally losing importance.
Billy Corgan
I think humankind is going to have to evolve into systems that are more transparent. Then people will be able to make more integral choices about the food they eat.
Billy Corgan
That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.
Billy Corgan
Everybody I'm working with now is a friend. And I would be very, very remiss to work with anybody in the future who has not shown me who they really are.
Billy Corgan
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
Billy Corgan
I mean, I'm certainly not a 'teaophyte,' or whatever the word would be.
Billy Corgan
In the music business I am surrounded by people who don't view music as a sacred voice. They view music as something that they can use and exploit, often times lazily. They have no sense of the tradition, they have no sense of honor about those who came before and charted the path.
Billy Corgan
