More quotes by Billy Corgan
Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar, and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.
Billy Corgan
I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.
Billy Corgan
You have to keep adapting to the times. If you kind of go with it, it can kind of fun.
Billy Corgan
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.
Billy Corgan
I mean there's certainly a lot of progressive rock and metal that exists at the underground level, which has its own vitality, as it should. But it seems to have lost its ability to really charge up the hill.
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
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
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
Billy Corgan
I'm Irish and I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I'm lucky sevens.
Billy Corgan
Stay in school. Lie to your teachers, but stay in school.
Billy Corgan
Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.
Billy Corgan
Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n' roll.
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
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
I use music as some kind of weird salvation to get away from life
Billy Corgan
I do not think wrestling is going to save the world.
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
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
In our lives in a lot of ways it's all about fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons.
Billy Corgan
We can look you in the eye and talk to you about life, heart, love rock'n'roll, whatever, but we do not have the moral authority to tell people how to vote or what to do with their bodies. We are just a rock band.
Billy Corgan
