For a 6-foot-3 guy with no hair and a whiny voice, I've done all right.
Billy Corgan
Image
I don't have a problem with 'Idol' or 'X Factor,' I have a problem with when those things are not given the proper contextual hue.

If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.

The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
Billy Corgan
Image
We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.
Billy Corgan

The deeper I get into my life as a musician, I'm discovering that it becomes less and less about other people, and more about what I want to do. And that's a good place to be.
Billy Corgan
Image
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.
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
Most great records really start with the drums.
Billy Corgan
Image
I never seemed to fit in. But it made me try to strive for things ten times harder.
Billy Corgan
Image
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.

My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.
Billy Corgan
Image
I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.

Image
I'm from a lower middle class background all my family were immigrants.
Billy Corgan

Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.
