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
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
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.
Billy Corgan
Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
Billy Corgan
I mean, I'm certainly not a 'teaophyte,' or whatever the word would be.

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

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

Billy Corgan
Beware of those angels with their wings glued on.
Billy Corgan
To me, music was about being accepted and escaping from this crummy existence.
Billy Corgan
Every year that goes by, I lose that much more motivation to play rock.
Billy Corgan
I'm from a lower middle class background all my family were immigrants.
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
When I've tried to reinvent the wheel, I get bashed for not doing the familiar things.
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
Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs.
Billy Corgan
To be able to put your arms around 24 years of music, it's really fun.
