Billy Corgan
Image
I'm passionate about creating new systems that are more holistic to humankind. What do I mean by that? I mean, create new systems of business so that people with ethics both exploit their goods and their gifts while not exploiting the earth, exploiting one another.
Billy Corgan
Image
I have a hard time thinking of men trying to sing my songs, because I think my perspective is definitely feminine.
Billy Corgan
Image
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
Billy Corgan
Image
I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan
Image
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.

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.

Image
I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.

I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.
