More quotes by Billy Corgan
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
Billy Corgan
The Smashing Pumpkins was never meant to be a small band. It was going to either be a big band, or a no band.
Billy Corgan
It's important for people to talk and get beyond the wall of Facebook and social media.
Billy Corgan
I know how stupid people can be. I've played in front of 5,000 people that bought a ticket to my concert, and some guy who's bought a ticket decides he's going to throw a bottle at my head. That's a simple act of stupidity. That's not even defiance.
Billy Corgan
We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.
Billy Corgan
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
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
Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years?
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
Fur is a contentious issue. Meat is a contentious issue. GMOs are a contentious issue. I think this whole thing going on about whether or not products should be labeled if they have GMOs in them - I, as a consumer, would like to know if I'm eating GMO food. If I choose to buy it then it's my choice.
Billy Corgan
My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.
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
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
The deeper I get into my life as a musician, I'm discovering that it becomes less and less about other people, and more about what I want to do. And that's a good place to be.
Billy Corgan
I really think it's a white, bourgeois idea to pretend that you don't have influences. It seems to be the obsession strictly of white people in college.
Billy Corgan
James, that's a bad situation. I'm not saying it's not repairable, but it's pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band... as far as I'm concerned, he was playing down at the pub.
Billy Corgan
I do not think wrestling is going to save the world.
Billy Corgan
My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme although it's not symbolically necessarily present, it's present in all my relationships.
Billy Corgan
There is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic.
Billy Corgan
Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar, and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.
Billy Corgan
