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.

More quotes by Billy Corgan
In our lives in a lot of ways it's all about fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons.
Billy Corgan
A good artist is willing to die many times over. What's funny is, I've died so many times.

That's the real endeavor: to try to create that direct conduit from the pure consciousness of your creative voice to the person who's a craftsman who can go into the world and consistently deliver new things worth paying attention to.
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 was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
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
I use music as some kind of weird salvation to get away from life
Billy Corgan
Stay in school. Lie to your teachers, but stay in school.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
Billy Corgan
We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].
Billy Corgan
We don't make music for people to take drugs to, we make music for people to live their life.
Billy Corgan
My view of the world is always tempered by the fact that there are people who are less fortunate than I am.
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 don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.
Billy Corgan
Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.
