More quotes by 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.
Billy Corgan
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.
Billy Corgan
I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.
Billy Corgan
I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.
Billy Corgan
Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.
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
There is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic.
Billy Corgan
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
Billy Corgan
Not let the child run the circus, just have that child be the source of the creative voice.
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
I feel completely free to do whatever I want and how I want to do it. I feel unburdened by my past.
Billy Corgan
Most great records really start with the drums.
Billy Corgan
I'm not going to die glamorously. I'll probably be eating a Twinkie, take a bite, and fall over.
Billy Corgan
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
Billy Corgan
Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that.
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.
Billy Corgan
It's what the mainstream does - they absorb things and they blunt the power of it. And so the next generation and the next generation has to become more shocking and more provocative in order to get any rise out of anybody.
Billy Corgan
That was a terrible Super Bowl, I have to say. I mean you got the big Peyton Manning walk off into the sunset win, but what a shnoozo.
Billy Corgan
Shave your head, wear a 'ZERO' shirt. Take away your identity. What do you have? You still have yourself.
Billy Corgan
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
