The simplest way that I can understand therapy is that we're born a certain way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives trying to unravel it.
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
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

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
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
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
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.
Billy Corgan
These days you're not just competing with the tedium, you're competing with the cellphone.
Billy Corgan
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
Billy Corgan
Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection.
Billy Corgan
Live simply make compassionate choices when it comes to food.
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 feel like I'm always fighting not to repeat myself.
Billy Corgan
If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.
