More quotes by Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
You have to keep adapting to the times. If you kind of go with it, it can kind of fun.

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
There are people out there who are older who are cool. I want that.
Billy Corgan
People always called the Cure gloomy, but listening to the Cure made me happy. There was something about the gloominess that gave me comfort, and I think we're the same way.
Billy Corgan
Don't judge yourself by someone else's standards. You will always lose
Billy Corgan
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
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
Around the mid-'90s every hair guy who would have been in a hair-metal band got his tattoos and suddenly decided he was alternative. It just became like a thing.
Billy Corgan
I want to make great songs.
Billy Corgan
Everybody I'm working with now is a friend. And I would be very, very remiss to work with anybody in the future who has not shown me who they really are.
