More quotes by Billy Corgan
I use music as some kind of weird salvation to get away from life
Billy Corgan
I mean, I'm certainly not a 'teaophyte,' or whatever the word would be.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
In 1992, with the weight of a perceived world on our shoulders, we disappeared into a parking garage to write the songs that would change the course of our lives forever. 'Siamese Dream' represents all of our dreams coming true, while the dreams of a happy band fell apart.
Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
It's important for people to talk and get beyond the wall of Facebook and social media.
Billy Corgan
The deeper I get into my life as a musician, I'm discovering that it becomes less and less about other people, and more about what I want to do. And that's a good place to be.
Billy Corgan
Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.
Billy Corgan
I usually wake up far after breakfast. That's as much as you're going to find out about my dietary requirements other than marijuana and vodka.
Billy Corgan
You've got to be ready to be in a great relationship.
Billy Corgan
The title of a song is like the wrapping on a present.
Billy Corgan
I think humankind is going to have to evolve into systems that are more transparent. Then people will be able to make more integral choices about the food they eat.
