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.

More quotes by Billy Corgan
What has gone on in my childhood, and the personal problems that we've had in the band, have given a lot of people hope. (It shows) if you keep your nose pointed straight you can actually get somewhere -- to a happy place.
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
Most people don't know that wrestling came out of the circus.
Billy Corgan
We're both cat lovers [with Marilyn Manson].
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
We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].
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
People try to make a big deal, like I don't want to play my old songs. That's not it. I don't want to play my old songs if that's my only option. That's a different thing.
Billy Corgan
If you're really going to uncover something as an artist, you're going to come into access with parts of your personality and your psyche that are really uncomfortable to face: your own ambition, your own greed, your own avarice, your own jealousies, and anything that would get in the way of the purity of your own artistic voice.
Billy Corgan
I believe that if the Tribune company ever tries to close down Wrigley Field that you will have a protest from every corner of the globe.
Billy Corgan
It's about the girlfriend who left me last year. I tried to put all my anger in those words, even though I'm just as much to blame for the break-up. 'Soma' is based on the idea that a love relationship is almost the same as opium: it slowly puts you to sleep, it soothes you, and gives you the illusion of sureness and security. Very deceivable.
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
It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, Here's this little guy with a monster-guitar sound. And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking.
Billy Corgan
I feel like I'm always fighting not to repeat myself.
Billy Corgan
I want to make great songs.
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
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.
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
To be able to put your arms around 24 years of music, it's really fun.
