I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.
Billy Corgan
Around the mid-'90s every hair guy who would have been in a hair-metal band got his tattoos and suddenly decided he was alternative. It just became like a thing.
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
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
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
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.
Billy Corgan
That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.
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
We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].
Billy Corgan
If you don't fit into this kind of like gossipy, trendy, Web-hit thingy, you're relegated to sort of second-class celebrity status.
Billy Corgan
To be able to put your arms around 24 years of music, it's really fun.
Billy Corgan
You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.
Billy Corgan
A good artist is willing to die many times over. What's funny is, I've died so many times.
