Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs.
Billy Corgan
Live simply make compassionate choices when it comes to food.
Billy Corgan
I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.
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
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
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.
Billy Corgan
I think God is the most unexplored territory in rock and roll music.
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 don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.
Billy Corgan
My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.
Billy Corgan
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 think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.
Billy Corgan
I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan
I feel like I'm always fighting not to repeat myself.
Billy Corgan
Fur is a contentious issue. Meat is a contentious issue. GMOs are a contentious issue. I think this whole thing going on about whether or not products should be labeled if they have GMOs in them - I, as a consumer, would like to know if I'm eating GMO food. If I choose to buy it then it's my choice.
Billy Corgan
If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan
I want to make great songs.
Billy Corgan
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
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
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
