Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do.
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
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.
I never wanted to leave the Smashing Pumpkins. That was never the plan.
Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs.
I'm not interested in pop art.
