More quotes by Billy Corgan
I think long and hard about what it is I'm actually trying to do, and then I kind of have to narrow my focus into that. If I don't, I'm too all over the place.
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
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
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
Heavy metal is a universal energy -- it's the sound of a volcano. It's rock, it's earth shattering. Somewhere in our primal being we understand.
Billy Corgan
Saturn Return is just the return of your planets to their original position.
Billy Corgan
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
Billy Corgan
We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.
Billy Corgan
What has gone on in my childhood, and the personal problems that we've had in the band, have given a lot of people hope. (It shows) if you keep your nose pointed straight you can actually get somewhere -- to a happy place.
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
When you present people with things from the heart and from the soul, they make better choices: They make better choices about their bodies, they make better choices about their partners, they make better choices about the environment.
Billy Corgan
Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.
Billy Corgan
You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.
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
In our lives in a lot of ways it's all about fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons.
Billy Corgan
Injuries are nothing to be ashamed about.
Billy Corgan
I'm not going to die glamorously. I'll probably be eating a Twinkie, take a bite, and fall over.
Billy Corgan
I know how stupid people can be. I've played in front of 5,000 people that bought a ticket to my concert, and some guy who's bought a ticket decides he's going to throw a bottle at my head. That's a simple act of stupidity. That's not even defiance.
Billy Corgan
If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan
I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.
Billy Corgan
