More quotes by Billy Corgan
That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.
Billy Corgan
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.
Billy Corgan
It's important for people to talk and get beyond the wall of Facebook and social media.
Billy Corgan
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.
Billy Corgan
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.
Billy Corgan
Stay in school. Lie to your teachers, but stay in school.
Billy Corgan
We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.
Billy Corgan
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
We're both cat lovers [with Marilyn Manson].
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
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
And the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without.
Billy Corgan
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
I mean there's certainly a lot of progressive rock and metal that exists at the underground level, which has its own vitality, as it should. But it seems to have lost its ability to really charge up the hill.
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
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 grew up in the suburbs and basically associate the suburbs with cultural death.
Billy Corgan
My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme although it's not symbolically necessarily present, it's present in all my relationships.
Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
