Billy Corgan

I’m prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I’m playing music that I believe in.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that’s gonna be unpopular.

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.

The desire to hit a big home run is dominating the music business.

When you actually like each other, it translates to the music.

You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.

In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.
