More quotes by Billy Corgan
I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.
Billy Corgan
In my particular instance, I came from a family that didn't have anything. Everything I earned in life I made. Myself. With songs that I wrote.
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
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
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
We are the most beloved and hated band in the world.
Billy Corgan
We're the worst band in America... That makes us the best.
Billy Corgan
My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.
Billy Corgan
People try to make a big deal, like I don't want to play my old songs. That's not it. I don't want to play my old songs if that's my only option. That's a different thing.
Billy Corgan
This is not a reaction against a negative world. It's a response to a negative world.
Billy Corgan
If I have resistance to something, it means there's something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.
Billy Corgan
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.
Billy Corgan
I've rarely done anything that's overtly self-destructive without consciously knowing what I'm doing. And then of course, the astute journalist jumps forward and says, Why are you being calculated? Calculated seems to assume a sinister intent. My intent is always for artistic effect.
Billy Corgan
My view of the world is always tempered by the fact that there are people who are less fortunate than I am.
Billy Corgan
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.
Billy Corgan
When you present people with things from the heart and from the soul, they make better choices: They make better choices about their bodies, they make better choices about their partners, they make better choices about the environment.
Billy Corgan
I've been too productive for too long, and despite what anybody wants to strip away from me, I am influential. I am.
Billy Corgan
The title of a song is like the wrapping on a present.
Billy Corgan
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.
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.
