Billy Corgan (William Patrick "Billy" Corgan Jr.) Quotes
We're like a really nice drink. We help people get through the day-we make life a little sunnier. I don't think we have any profound effect. If anybody has had a profound effect, it's The Beatles, and their effect is still minimal. There are things in the world way more important than music. Family is 50 times more important than music.
