I was fantasising about my own death, I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played, I was at that level of insanity.
From Billy Corgan
Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years?
Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.
I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.
All I can go on is my own value system.
In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.
I'd reached a point where there was a direct conflict between what I was trying to be and who I really was.
I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.
I'm a really honest person.
Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.
