More quotes by Billy Corgan
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.
Billy Corgan
Everybody I'm working with now is a friend. And I would be very, very remiss to work with anybody in the future who has not shown me who they really are.
Billy Corgan
I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.
Billy Corgan
If you don't have some sort of belief system by which to center your life, it's hard sometimes to understand why you would put up with your family.
Billy Corgan
As a healthy person, my breakfasts are very bland and boring. Think kind of a white pasty gruel. Or there can be an occasional banana over the top.
Billy Corgan
If you're really going to uncover something as an artist, you're going to come into access with parts of your personality and your psyche that are really uncomfortable to face: your own ambition, your own greed, your own avarice, your own jealousies, and anything that would get in the way of the purity of your own artistic voice.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].
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
This is not a reaction against a negative world. It's a response to a negative world.
Billy Corgan
We don't make music for people to take drugs to, we make music for people to live their life.
Billy Corgan
I'm not going to die glamorously. I'll probably be eating a Twinkie, take a bite, and fall over.
Billy Corgan
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
We're both cat lovers [with Marilyn Manson].
Billy Corgan
Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection.
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
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.
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
We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.
