I didn't grow up with my mother, and so losing her for real was like, some sort of latent childhood, some sort of unresolved issue. When she left for real, it was sort of like, I was done.

More quotes by Billy Corgan
We had a wonderful time with this kind of grunge awareness, where suddenly rock was cool again. People wanted to head loud guitars. It was a great time, and I'm glad we were there. But the gimmick part has worn off.
Billy Corgan
I think humankind is going to have to evolve into systems that are more transparent. Then people will be able to make more integral choices about the food they eat.
Billy Corgan
I'm from a lower middle class background all my family were immigrants.
Billy Corgan
Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n' roll.
Billy Corgan
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
I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.
Billy Corgan
I want to make great songs.
Billy Corgan
The Smashing Pumpkins was never meant to be a small band. It was going to either be a big band, or a no band.
Billy Corgan
Stay in school. Lie to your teachers, but stay in school.

If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan
Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do.
Billy Corgan
I like my home and I like the nature.
Billy Corgan
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
I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan
Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.
Billy Corgan
Not let the child run the circus, just have that child be the source of the creative voice.
Billy Corgan
I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.
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
As a citizen of the great city of Chicago, I find it impossible to root against the White Sox. The White Sox organization has been much more consistent, in my lifetime at least, at putting a winning ballclub on the field.
