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.

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.

The Smashing Pumpkins was never meant to be a small band. It was going to either be a big band, or a no band.

The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.

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.

Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.

I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.

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.

When you present people with things from the heart and from the soul, they make better choices: They make better choices about their bodies, they make better choices about their partners, they make better choices about the environment.
