More quotes by Billy Corgan
Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.
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
Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.
Billy Corgan
A good artist is willing to die many times over. What's funny is, I've died so many times.
Billy Corgan

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
All I can go on is my own value system.
Billy Corgan
My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme although it's not symbolically necessarily present, it's present in all my relationships.
Billy Corgan
Injuries are nothing to be ashamed about.
Billy Corgan
My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.
Billy Corgan
We weren't like mates who decided to form a band. The other three met me because they were interested in being in the band that I was starting.
Billy Corgan
You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.
Billy Corgan
Rock in the mainstream culture has lost a lot of its mojo.
Billy Corgan
Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs.
