Billy Corgan Quotes

Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

The great thing about rock n’ roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it’s Don Quixote all over again. You’re really chasing windmills Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What has gone on in my childhood, and the personal problems that we’ve had in the band, have given a lot of people hope. (It shows) if you keep your nose pointed straight you can actually get somewhere -- to a happy place Picture Quote #1

Destruction is a true sign of devotion. As I always tell my girlfriend when she threatens to kill me. ‘You should kill me and it would tell me that you love me Picture Quote #1

Indie world won’t have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds Picture Quote #1

When alternative music - which is supposed to be the standard-bearer of where white rock is headed - becomes either too cute or too manufactured, that’s just really not good Picture Quote #1

As long as you have faith, you’re willing to try to take another chance. God wants you to amble toward the right spot on the horizon. The idea is that you’re willing to get up and keep moving toward that light Picture Quote #1

I don’t 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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think the original, ‘They’re the next Jane’s Addiction’ things that people said about us in the beginning have been pretty much wiped out Picture Quote #1

I have a saying, which is, ‘Crazy is good for business.’ I think rock and roll really is about being a bit crazy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We weren’t like mates who decided to form a band. The other three met me because they were interested in being in the band that I was starting Picture Quote #1

If you don’t have some sort of belief system by which to center your life, it’s hard sometimes to understand why you would put up with your family Picture Quote #1

When you present people with things from the heart and from the soul, they make better choices: They make better choices about their bodies, they make better choices about their partners, they make better choices about the environment Picture Quote #1

It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, Here’s this little guy with a monster-guitar sound. And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that references to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin meant more to me a year ago and all those old things are totally losing importance Picture Quote #1

As a healthy person, my breakfasts are very bland and boring. Think kind of a white pasty gruel. Or there can be an occasional banana over the top Picture Quote #1

I don’t think people buy records because of anything that happens on Facebook. They buy records cause they’re friends say ‘I bought this record and I love it.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m an experimental artist in a field that doesn’t celebrate experimentation. It celebrates self-destruction, which I guess you could say is a creative endeavor Picture Quote #1

I walked away from going to church when I was 8. I didn’t set foot in another church until I was 28 Picture Quote #1

So... ‘Billy, light yourself on fire and stand upside down, and that’ll market the record.’ Picture Quote #1
