More quotes by Billy Corgan
I'm a Pisces, and Pisces have this weird inability to be completely spontaneous. We're too conscious of our actions. I've always been way too sensible for my own good.
Billy Corgan
There's nothing more satisfying than going to a market and meeting the person who picked the strawberries, or it's their farm that the strawberries came from, and giving them a fair value in exchange for what they're giving you.
Billy Corgan
To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it's a good, earned feeling now.
Billy Corgan
I don't think '90s music was as significant as '60s music in terms of changing the world, but it was significant, and I think it was similarly disillusioning when you realize the mainstream just views it as like a curiosity.
Billy Corgan
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
To me, music was about being accepted and escaping from this crummy existence.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
These days you're not just competing with the tedium, you're competing with the cellphone.
Billy Corgan

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
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 think long and hard about what it is I'm actually trying to do, and then I kind of have to narrow my focus into that. If I don't, I'm too all over the place.
Billy Corgan
I've rarely done anything that's overtly self-destructive without consciously knowing what I'm doing. And then of course, the astute journalist jumps forward and says, Why are you being calculated? Calculated seems to assume a sinister intent. My intent is always for artistic effect.
Billy Corgan
I always thought Kurt Cobain was the perfect embodiment of the great alternative guitar player.
Billy Corgan
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
Billy Corgan
Around the mid-'90s every hair guy who would have been in a hair-metal band got his tattoos and suddenly decided he was alternative. It just became like a thing.
Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
Billy Corgan
When I've tried to reinvent the wheel, I get bashed for not doing the familiar things.
Billy Corgan
Well, we have brought certain things upon ourselves. I've certainly brought things upon us with my mouth.
Billy Corgan
