Well, we have brought certain things upon ourselves. I've certainly brought things upon us with my mouth.
Billy Corgan
Image
There is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic.
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
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.

I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan

We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].
Billy Corgan
Image
I always thought Kurt Cobain was the perfect embodiment of the great alternative guitar player.
Billy Corgan
Image
Everybody I'm working with now is a friend. And I would be very, very remiss to work with anybody in the future who has not shown me who they really are.
Billy Corgan
Image
I've always believed that we could reach past genre -- we didn't ride the grunge coat-tails we've always been on our terms.
Billy Corgan
Image
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.
Billy Corgan
Image
Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar, and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.
Billy Corgan
Image
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.

Fur is a contentious issue. Meat is a contentious issue. GMOs are a contentious issue. I think this whole thing going on about whether or not products should be labeled if they have GMOs in them - I, as a consumer, would like to know if I'm eating GMO food. If I choose to buy it then it's my choice.

Beware of those angels with their wings glued on.

I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
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
Image
I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.
Billy Corgan
Image
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
I mean, I'm certainly not a 'teaophyte,' or whatever the word would be.
Billy Corgan
Image
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.
