To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it's a good, earned feeling now.

In my Corgan brain, I've decided it's almost as simple as 'All you need is love.' Almost.

I started thinking that if post modernism is about people opening up all their skeletons, I'm going the other way. I don't want anyone knowing anything about me anymore.

I never wanted to leave the Smashing Pumpkins. That was never the plan.

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.

We don't make music for people to take drugs to, we make music for people to live their life.

I know how stupid people can be. I've played in front of 5,000 people that bought a ticket to my concert, and some guy who's bought a ticket decides he's going to throw a bottle at my head. That's a simple act of stupidity. That's not even defiance.
