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.

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.

Not let the child run the circus, just have that child be the source of the creative voice.

This is not a reaction against a negative world. It's a response to a negative world.
Billy Corgan
Image
What most people do is try to find a comfortable persona that they're in alignment with and the public likes and appreciates them for.
Billy Corgan
Image
As a healthy person, my breakfasts are very bland and boring. Think kind of a white pasty gruel. Or there can be an occasional banana over the top.
Billy Corgan
Image
That's the real endeavor: to try to create that direct conduit from the pure consciousness of your creative voice to the person who's a craftsman who can go into the world and consistently deliver new things worth paying attention to.
Billy Corgan

Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection.

Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years?
Billy Corgan
Image
I think God is the most unexplored territory in rock and roll music.
Billy Corgan

And the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without.
Billy Corgan
Image
Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.
Billy Corgan

Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.

I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.
