I don't have a problem with 'Idol' or 'X Factor,' I have a problem with when those things are not given the proper contextual hue.

As a citizen of the great city of Chicago, I find it impossible to root against the White Sox. The White Sox organization has been much more consistent, in my lifetime at least, at putting a winning ballclub on the field.

Billy Corgan
I'm Irish and I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I'm lucky sevens.
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
If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan
My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.
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
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
