Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.

Billy [Corgan] and I used to spend quite a lot of time together in Los Angeles, when I first moved there.

There's a lot of days where you feel forgotten.

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.

There's nothing more satisfying than going to a market and meeting the person who picked the strawberries, or it's their farm that the strawberries came from, and giving them a fair value in exchange for what they're giving you.

I put up with the music business because I understand that I'm in the tradition, I'm in a tradition that's of far greater importance than the business I seem to be in. Everywhere I go in the world, people ask me about the business that I seem to be in, but I'm not really in that business.

If you don't have some sort of belief system by which to center your life, it's hard sometimes to understand why you would put up with your family.
