More quotes by Billy Corgan
You have to keep adapting to the times. If you kind of go with it, it can kind of fun.
Billy Corgan
To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it's a good, earned feeling now.
Billy Corgan
We're both cat lovers [with Marilyn Manson].
Billy Corgan
I'm Irish and I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I'm lucky sevens.
Billy Corgan
For a 6-foot-3 guy with no hair and a whiny voice, I've done all right.
Billy Corgan
Heavy metal is a universal energy -- it's the sound of a volcano. It's rock, it's earth shattering. Somewhere in our primal being we understand.
Billy Corgan
Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar, and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.
Billy Corgan
I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.
Billy Corgan
Well, I'm known as a guitar-rock guy, you know? You're not supposed to play with synthesizers. This is not in the rulebook.

Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan
Like any form of death, at some point you just have to get up and say yeah I'll take it, whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen and sorta chop your head off. It's easy to avoid all that...there's always another moment, another girl, another high, another drug, there's always something to distract you.
Billy Corgan
If the next record is no better than Gish, then we've failed.
Billy Corgan
We had a wonderful time with this kind of grunge awareness, where suddenly rock was cool again. People wanted to head loud guitars. It was a great time, and I'm glad we were there. But the gimmick part has worn off.
Billy Corgan
Fur is a contentious issue. Meat is a contentious issue. GMOs are a contentious issue. I think this whole thing going on about whether or not products should be labeled if they have GMOs in them - I, as a consumer, would like to know if I'm eating GMO food. If I choose to buy it then it's my choice.
Billy Corgan
I think long and hard about what it is I'm actually trying to do, and then I kind of have to narrow my focus into that. If I don't, I'm too all over the place.
Billy Corgan
Most great records really start with the drums.
Billy Corgan
Rock in the mainstream culture has lost a lot of its mojo.
Billy Corgan
I always thought Kurt Cobain was the perfect embodiment of the great alternative guitar player.
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
