I think it would be very interesting to see that many people would probably be okay with paying more for services and goods that they felt were more holistically [generated]. Which means the death of the old system which rewarded people for taking advantage of one another.

That's the great thing about rock n' roll: the myth is ultimately more important than the reality. And that's what you learn - you just learn to go with the mythology.

Billy Corgan 340 quotes

The mythology in rock n' roll ...

The mythology in rock n' roll is that I'm a bit of a loose cannon. Yet I've produced more music than anybody in my generation. So how much of a loose cannon am I? But the general public believes that I'm a loose cannon, so let them believe it. I'm not going to correct them.

At some point, you protest too much they think you're guilty just because you're protesting.

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.

Billy Corgan 340 quotes

I've rarely done anything that...

I've rarely done anything that's overtly self-destructive without consciously knowing what I'm doing. And then of course, the astute journalist jumps forward and says, 'Why are you being calculated?' Calculated seems to assume a sinister intent. My intent is always for artistic effect.

Billy Corgan 340 quotes

Usually the intention of the a...

Usually the intention of the artistic effect is too sophisticated for most people to understand, sort of like a joke that they don't get so they don't think it's funny.

I've had a lot of things rendered as not being effective or as some indication of my lack of sanity, only to be praised ten, fifteen, twenty years later for what I did once in this overt consciousness.

I don't think I'm before my time, I just don't think I'm in my time.

Billy Corgan 340 quotes

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 340 quotes

The music business - and I gue...

The music business - and I guess you could say any artistic endeavor - usually rewards those who are on the leading edge of where everything is going, but you can't be too far.

Billy Corgan 340 quotes

Now the expectation is that, o...

Now the expectation is that, once the public decides that the artist is gentrified, the public demands that the artist stop growing. And [the public] actually puts all their energy into reasserting or re-establishing what the artist has long ago left behind. Because that's what they want. The source of creativity, the gift that's been given, be damned.

Live simply; make compassionate choices when it comes to food.

Being in a rock band is just an excuse not to get a job

The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.

I want to make great songs.

Most of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music, or their attitude about their own lives, or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.

Soon you won't even have the choice to live or die as you wish!

My step-mom would tell me that she would get complaints from adults that I stared too much at them.
