I like my home and I like the nature.

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.

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.

Well, I'm known as a guitar-rock guy, you know? You're not supposed to play with synthesizers. This is not in the rulebook.

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.

My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.

That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.

Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years?
Billy Corgan

In our lives in a lot of ways it's all about fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons.
Billy Corgan

And the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without.
Billy Corgan
Image
I feel completely free to do whatever I want and how I want to do it. I feel unburdened by my past.
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.

Destruction is a true sign of devotion. As I always tell my girlfriend when she threatens to kill me. 'You should kill me and it would tell me that you love me.

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.

For someone who's had the level of success I've had, there's been very little critical review of my work, which is pretty fascinating.

My view of the world is always tempered by the fact that there are people who are less fortunate than I am.

I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.
