In the music business I am surrounded by people who don't view music as a sacred voice. They view music as something that they can use and exploit, often times lazily. They have no sense of the tradition, they have no sense of honor about those who came before and charted the path.
Billy Corgan
If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.
Billy Corgan
The desire to hit a big home run is dominating the music business.
Billy Corgan
It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, Here's this little guy with a monster-guitar sound. And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking.
Billy Corgan
We don't make music for people to take drugs to, we make music for people to live their life.
Billy Corgan
If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan
When I've tried to reinvent the wheel, I get bashed for not doing the familiar things.
Billy Corgan
If the next record is no better than Gish, then we've failed.
Billy Corgan
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
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.
Billy Corgan
Injuries are nothing to be ashamed about.
Billy Corgan
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.
