More quotes by Billy Corgan
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan
People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.
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
If you're really going to uncover something as an artist, you're going to come into access with parts of your personality and your psyche that are really uncomfortable to face: your own ambition, your own greed, your own avarice, your own jealousies, and anything that would get in the way of the purity of your own artistic voice.
Billy Corgan
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
Billy Corgan
Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do.
Billy Corgan
I have a hard time thinking of men trying to sing my songs, because I think my perspective is definitely feminine.
Billy Corgan
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection.
Billy Corgan
Even if you don't believe in God, exploring fully the idea of a God or Gods should pose no threat to you.
Billy Corgan
As a healthy person, my breakfasts are very bland and boring. Think kind of a white pasty gruel. Or there can be an occasional banana over the top.
Billy Corgan
I never seemed to fit in. But it made me try to strive for things ten times harder.
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
For someone who's had the level of success I've had, there's been very little critical review of my work, which is pretty fascinating.
Billy Corgan
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.
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
Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.
Billy Corgan
It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, Here's this little guy with a monster-guitar sound. And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking.
Billy Corgan
It's about the girlfriend who left me last year. I tried to put all my anger in those words, even though I'm just as much to blame for the break-up. 'Soma' is based on the idea that a love relationship is almost the same as opium: it slowly puts you to sleep, it soothes you, and gives you the illusion of sureness and security. Very deceivable.
