Quote

We can look you in the eye and talk to you about life, heart, love rock'n'roll, whatever, but we do not have the moral authority to tell people how to vote or what to do with their bodies. We are just a rock band.

You can only be this high-powered mojo rock band for so long, then you just can't look people in the eye. So, we've projected our own demise.
Billy Corgan

You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.

I mean, I'm certainly not a 'teaophyte,' or whatever the word would be.
Billy Corgan
Image
I think long and hard about what it is I'm actually trying to do, and then I kind of have to narrow my focus into that. If I don't, I'm too all over the place.

Image
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.

If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.

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
Image
When you present people with things from the heart and from the soul, they make better choices: They make better choices about their bodies, they make better choices about their partners, they make better choices about the environment.
Billy Corgan
Image
You give me a @#$%& kazoo and I'll write you a good song.
Billy Corgan
Image
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.

I don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.
Billy Corgan
Image
Heavy metal is a universal energy -- it's the sound of a volcano. It's rock, it's earth shattering. Somewhere in our primal being we understand.

I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
Image
Most great records really start with the drums.
Billy Corgan

In my case I don't mind playing a character that irritates people or makes people question my sanity.

I want to make great songs.

I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.

I think God is the most unexplored territory in rock and roll music.
