I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I was fantasising about my own death, I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played, I was at that level of insanity.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I grew up in the suburbs and basically associate the suburbs with cultural death.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I started thinking that if post modernism is about people opening up all their skeletons, I'm going the other way. I don't want anyone knowing anything about me anymore.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
These days you're not just competing with the tedium, you're competing with the cellphone.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
You have to keep adapting to the times. If you kind of go with it, it can kind of fun.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
One thing I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme; although it's not symbolically necessarily present, it's present in all my relationships.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I mean there's certainly a lot of progressive rock and metal that exists at the underground level, which has its own vitality, as it should. But it seems to have lost its ability to really charge up the hill.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I think when I listen to old records, it puts me back in the atmosphere of what it felt like to make the record and who was there and what the room looked like. It's more a sensory memory.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
We need to get back to a level of social responsibility that we haven't seen for a long time.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I'm very disappointed in my country right now, because I think we've kind of lost our moral compass.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
There's nothing wrong with technology. It's when technology is the story and not the artist, that's the problem.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I was part of a generation that changed the world, and it was taken over by posers.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I look at other members of my generation who have basically done one thing, and one thing well, and have been handsomely rewarded for it.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
Somewhere between the intellectual idea of why we're attracted to certain things and the pragmatic reality is some form of ever-evolving truth.
