More quotes by Billy Corgan
Not let the child run the circus, just have that child be the source of the creative voice.
Billy Corgan
As a citizen of the great city of Chicago, I find it impossible to root against the White Sox. The White Sox organization has been much more consistent, in my lifetime at least, at putting a winning ballclub on the field.
Billy Corgan
If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan
If you've sold over a million records, you are not punk rock, you are milking the system for everything that it's worth.
Billy Corgan
The Smashing Pumpkins was never meant to be a small band. It was going to either be a big band, or a no band.
Billy Corgan
At some point, you protest too much they think you're guilty just because you're protesting.
Billy Corgan
I've been too productive for too long, and despite what anybody wants to strip away from me, I am influential. I am.
Billy Corgan
Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.
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
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
Every year that goes by, I lose that much more motivation to play rock.
Billy Corgan
I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
Billy Corgan
Live simply make compassionate choices when it comes to food.
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
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
I'm passionate about creating new systems that are more holistic to humankind. What do I mean by that? I mean, create new systems of business so that people with ethics both exploit their goods and their gifts while not exploiting the earth, exploiting one another.
Billy Corgan
That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.
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
My pat line about the Cubs and payroll is that the amount of merchandise the Cubs would sell off a world series championship would more than cover for a big payroll.
