More quotes by Billy Corgan
The Smashing Pumpkins was never meant to be a small band. It was going to either be a big band, or a no band.
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
As long as you have faith, you're willing to try to take another chance. God wants you to amble toward the right spot on the horizon. The idea is that you're willing to get up and keep moving toward that light.
Billy Corgan
If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.
Billy Corgan
If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
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
Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs.
Billy Corgan
I'm Irish and I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I'm lucky sevens.
Billy Corgan
I don't think '90s music was as significant as '60s music in terms of changing the world, but it was significant, and I think it was similarly disillusioning when you realize the mainstream just views it as like a curiosity.
Billy Corgan
James, that's a bad situation. I'm not saying it's not repairable, but it's pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band... as far as I'm concerned, he was playing down at the pub.
Billy Corgan
If I have resistance to something, it means there's something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.
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
All I can go on is my own value system.
Billy Corgan
And the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without.
Billy Corgan
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection.
Billy Corgan
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.
Billy Corgan
I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.
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've sold over a million records, you are not punk rock, you are milking the system for everything that it's worth.
Billy Corgan
