More quotes by Billy Corgan
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
Well, we have brought certain things upon ourselves. I've certainly brought things upon us with my mouth.
Billy Corgan
Being overly identified with [a certain period of time] becomes a noose around your neck, and people don't want you to grow up, they don't want you to change, they don't want you to evolve.
Billy Corgan
I want to make great songs.
Billy Corgan
Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.
Billy Corgan
For a 6-foot-3 guy with no hair and a whiny voice, I've done all right.
Billy Corgan
And the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without.
Billy Corgan
These days you're not just competing with the tedium, you're competing with the cellphone.
Billy Corgan
Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.
Billy Corgan
The ideology of the Smashing Pumpkins was ultimately more valuable than the music of the Smashing Pumpkins. That's what critics can't put their finger on.
Billy Corgan
I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.
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
I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.
Billy Corgan
I think God is the most unexplored territory in rock and roll music.
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
The simplest way that I can understand therapy is that we're born a certain way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives trying to unravel it.
Billy Corgan
I don't think '90s music was as significant as '60s music in terms of changing the world, but it was significant, and I think it was similarly disillusioning when you realize the mainstream just views it as like a curiosity.
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
I'm a Pisces, and Pisces have this weird inability to be completely spontaneous. We're too conscious of our actions. I've always been way too sensible for my own good.
Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
Billy Corgan
