I rummage around in artistic things from the past. If you don't understand the context, they wouldn't make any sense. I rummage around in conceptual ideas of the future, but if you don't know the source of the thinking, [it] wouldn't make any sense.

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

I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
Billy Corgan

That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.

Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.
Billy Corgan
Image
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

I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.

We can look you in the eye and talk to you about life, heart, love rock'n'roll, whatever, but we do not have the moral authority to tell people how to vote or what to do with their bodies. We are just a rock band.

Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.

What has gone on in my childhood, and the personal problems that we've had in the band, have given a lot of people hope. (It shows) if you keep your nose pointed straight you can actually get somewhere -- to a happy place.

Well, we have brought certain things upon ourselves. I've certainly brought things upon us with my mouth.
