I'm not interested in pop art.

I'm viewed as this weird, crippled character. But you got to take your lumps.

I believe that if the Tribune company ever tries to close down Wrigley Field that you will have a protest from every corner of the globe.

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

Music is 99% of my life. But I know I need a break. Besides, if you give people too much, they start to not want it. We need to restrain ourselves.

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'll come in with a string of riffs and direct the musical ideas. But you still need a band and their input to make the ideas come alive. You can't underestimate band chemistry.
