More quotes by Billy Corgan
Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs.
Billy Corgan
I think when I listen to old records, it puts me back in the atmosphere of what it felt like to make the record and who was there and what the room looked like. It's more a sensory memory.
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
If you don't fit into this kind of like gossipy, trendy, Web-hit thingy, you're relegated to sort of second-class celebrity status.
Billy Corgan
I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
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
I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.
Billy Corgan
I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.
Billy Corgan
I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.
Billy Corgan
I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.
Billy Corgan
Well, we have brought certain things upon ourselves. I've certainly brought things upon us with my mouth.
Billy Corgan
In my particular instance, I came from a family that didn't have anything. Everything I earned in life I made. Myself. With songs that I wrote.
Billy Corgan
We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].
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
It's important for people to talk and get beyond the wall of Facebook and social media.
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
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 didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
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
Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.
Billy Corgan
