If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.

Billy CorganI'm very disappointed in my country right now, because I think we've kind of lost our moral compass.
Billy CorganI created a paradigm by which I could succeed, and up until recently it was the only way I could do it. I could not take the brunt of standing in the light of my own work. There was a Faustian bargain I could not make. I could have you mock me for wearing funny clothes that I could deal with. But I couldn't deal with actually standing in the light of my own musical power. That's the difference now. It's like, okay, no more of that, you're done.
