More quotes by Billy Corgan
I have a hard time thinking of men trying to sing my songs, because I think my perspective is definitely feminine.
Billy Corgan
I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.
Billy Corgan
I feel completely free to do whatever I want and how I want to do it. I feel unburdened by my past.
Billy Corgan
Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection.
Billy Corgan
I really think it's a white, bourgeois idea to pretend that you don't have influences. It seems to be the obsession strictly of white people in college.
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 father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.
Billy Corgan
Most people don't know that wrestling came out of the circus.
Billy Corgan
This is not a reaction against a negative world. It's a response to a negative world.
Billy Corgan
There's nothing more satisfying than going to a market and meeting the person who picked the strawberries, or it's their farm that the strawberries came from, and giving them a fair value in exchange for what they're giving you.
Billy Corgan
Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.
Billy Corgan
I'm passionate about creating new systems that are more holistic to humankind. What do I mean by that? I mean, create new systems of business so that people with ethics both exploit their goods and their gifts while not exploiting the earth, exploiting one another.
Billy Corgan
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.
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
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
Everybody can close their eyes, picture a dream house or a perfect place [where] they'd like to have a picnic. But actually creating it - how do you create something from nothing? Anyone who's creative understands that that's the magic, that's the alchemy.
Billy Corgan
You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.
Billy Corgan
And the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without.
Billy Corgan
In my case I don't mind playing a character that irritates people or makes people question my sanity.
