More quotes by 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
I have a hard time thinking of men trying to sing my songs, because I think my perspective is definitely feminine.
Billy Corgan
The great thing about rock n' roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it's Don Quixote all over again. You're really chasing windmills.
Billy Corgan
Even if you don't believe in God, exploring fully the idea of a God or Gods should pose no threat to you.
Billy Corgan
It seems to me that references to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin meant more to me a year ago and all those old things are totally losing importance.
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
I like my home and I like the nature.
Billy Corgan
In the music business I am surrounded by people who don't view music as a sacred voice. They view music as something that they can use and exploit, often times lazily. They have no sense of the tradition, they have no sense of honor about those who came before and charted the path.
Billy Corgan
Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.
Billy Corgan
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
All I can go on is my own value system.
Billy Corgan
I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.
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
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.
Billy Corgan
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
There is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic.
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
We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].
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
You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.
Billy Corgan
