I’m prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I’m playing music that I believe in.
People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that’s gonna be unpopular.
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.
To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it’s a good, earned feeling now.
Most of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music, or their attitude about their own lives, or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.

In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.
Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I’m really a jock.
A good artist is willing to die many times over. What’s funny is, I’ve died so many times.
