In our lives in a lot of ways it's all about fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I've seen foreigners really shift on their view of America, and that's hard for me to take.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I had concussions as a kid playing football and basketball, and know what it feels like and to have someone say 'Just rub some dirt on it, and get back in there.'
Quote by -Billy Corgan
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I'm viewed as this weird, crippled character. But you got to take your lumps.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
The deeper I get into my life as a musician, I'm discovering that it becomes less and less about other people, and more about what I want to do. And that's a good place to be.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
In the beginning, though, I have to admit that I did have a chip on my shoulder. I did want to prove everyone wrong. But after I went through the process and came out the other side, it wasn't about anyone else.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I'll come in with a string of riffs and direct the musical ideas. But you still need a band and their input to make the ideas come alive. You can't underestimate band chemistry.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I'm definitely responsible for coming in with some basic chord changes, or ideas. Everybody in the band looks to me to come up with the basic seed, so it's not very productive to come in with nothing.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I was raised a Christian, but I wouldn't call myself a Christian now. I think when I was younger it was easier to focus on the negative, nihilist vision... this is sort of picking up on the other half of the body, which is God and white light.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
For someone who's had the level of success I've had, there's been very little critical review of my work, which is pretty fascinating.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
There's a difference between being a poseur and being someone who's so emotionally challenged they're kind of just doing their best to show you what they've got.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
If I have resistance to something, it means there's something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I walked away from going to church when I was 8. I didn't set foot in another church until I was 28.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I don't have to play by these rules or do these things... I can actually have my own kind of version.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I've always been spiritual but I've never had a proper context, and it took me awhile to find the proper context. It's hard to realize you can have any kind of relationship with God you want... and so I now have a punk rock relationship with God.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I didn't grow up with my mother, and so losing her for real was like, some sort of latent childhood, some sort of unresolved issue. When she left for real, it was sort of like, I was done.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
Saturn Return is just the return of your planets to their original position.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
Your basic person wants to talk about material culture, internet culture. I think about God, cats, nature.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I believe that if the Tribune company ever tries to close down Wrigley Field that you will have a protest from every corner of the globe.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
I lay a lot of blame at the feet of Dusty Baker for not being more strict about fundamentals, which I think would give the team a stronger day-to-day identity.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
My pat line about the Cubs and payroll is that the amount of merchandise the Cubs would sell off a world series championship would more than cover for a big payroll.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
As a citizen of the great city of Chicago, I find it impossible to root against the White Sox. The White Sox organization has been much more consistent, in my lifetime at least, at putting a winning ballclub on the field.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Billy Corgan
You will never see the four original Pumpkins on stage ever again, unless it's a Hall of Fame thing. But you would never see a tour. There's so much damage, there's no way.
