Life is everything and nothing all at once.

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.

The ideology of the Smashing Pumpkins was ultimately more valuable than the music of the Smashing Pumpkins. That's what critics can't put their finger on.

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

My earliest memory is of feeling different. My parents told me that I wasn't like other children.

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 grew up in a house of no love or emotion - it kind of sticks with you.
