More quotes by Billy Corgan
I've always believed that we could reach past genre -- we didn't ride the grunge coat-tails we've always been on our terms.
Billy Corgan
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
If I have resistance to something, it means there's something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.
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
Stay in school. Lie to your teachers, but stay in school.
Billy Corgan
I rummage around in artistic things from the past. If you don't understand the context, they wouldn't make any sense. I rummage around in conceptual ideas of the future, but if you don't know the source of the thinking, [it] wouldn't make any sense.
Billy Corgan
Like any form of death, at some point you just have to get up and say yeah I'll take it, whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen and sorta chop your head off. It's easy to avoid all that...there's always another moment, another girl, another high, another drug, there's always something to distract you.
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
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'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.
Billy Corgan
If you've sold over a million records, you are not punk rock, you are milking the system for everything that it's worth.
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
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
Injuries are nothing to be ashamed about.
Billy Corgan
It's what the mainstream does - they absorb things and they blunt the power of it. And so the next generation and the next generation has to become more shocking and more provocative in order to get any rise out of anybody.
Billy Corgan
You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.
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
What most people do is try to find a comfortable persona that they're in alignment with and the public likes and appreciates them for.
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
I want to make great songs.
Billy Corgan
