Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
Billy Corgan
We had a wonderful time with this kind of grunge awareness, where suddenly rock was cool again. People wanted to head loud guitars. It was a great time, and I'm glad we were there. But the gimmick part has worn off.
Billy Corgan
If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.
Billy Corgan
Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that.
Billy Corgan
This is not a reaction against a negative world. It's a response to a negative world.
Billy Corgan
If the next record is no better than Gish, then we've failed.
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
Saturn Return is just the return of your planets to their original position.
Billy Corgan
To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it's a good, earned feeling now.
