Intoxicated With the madness I'm in love with My sadness Bullshit beggars, enchanted kingdom Fashion victims through their charcoaled teeth

I feel completely free to do whatever I want and how I want to do it. I feel unburdened by my past.

Well, all rock and roll is based in artifice.

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

The Smashing Pumpkins was never meant to be a small band. It was going to either be a big band, or a no band.

I was brought up Roman Catholic. I'm not even baptized.

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