Billy Corgan
There are people out there who are older who are cool. I want that.
Billy Corgan
If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.
Billy Corgan
That was a terrible Super Bowl, I have to say. I mean you got the big Peyton Manning walk off into the sunset win, but what a shnoozo.
Billy Corgan
I mean, I'm certainly not a 'teaophyte,' or whatever the word would be.
Billy Corgan
A good artist is willing to die many times over. What's funny is, I've died so many times.

Billy Corgan
To be able to put your arms around 24 years of music, it's really fun.
Billy Corgan
In 1992, with the weight of a perceived world on our shoulders, we disappeared into a parking garage to write the songs that would change the course of our lives forever. 'Siamese Dream' represents all of our dreams coming true, while the dreams of a happy band fell apart.
Billy Corgan
I don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.
Billy Corgan
I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.
Billy Corgan
That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.
Billy Corgan
In my particular instance, I came from a family that didn't have anything. Everything I earned in life I made. Myself. With songs that I wrote.
Billy Corgan
