(talking about the name "Smashing Pumpkins") "The name was always there, there was nothing I could do about it. I never really made friends with the name."

"Call me old-fashioned."

"I was always like, I'm going to be in a band when I grow up. Always. Ever since I was probably six years old."

"Being in the band is like being married to four people you never even wanted to date."

"You're missing the X-Files! Wait, I'm missing the X-Files! I can't believe I'm here!"

"Sometimes you're up on stage and you look down and think, ' These kids are getting younger and younger. Oh no! I'm getting older and older! Oh no! I'm too old to be doing this!' But it's still good and I'll keep going as long as it feels right."

"I think James probably holds about the same attitude that I do. But who really knows what James is thinking?"

"We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down"

"Rock is always about rebelling against your parents."

"I was known for throwing knives."

"James: I generally record in my boxers. Nothing else. It throws some people off.
D'Arcy: And he lets the dog watch."

"I've always got stage fright"

"People bring us pumpkins...they have pumpkin motifs in our dressing rooms. I mean, this one girl actually asked us if we changed our name for every holiday, like we'd be the 'smashing turkeys', or the 'smashing santa clasuses', the 'smashing christopher columbuses' and she was serious! Can you believe that?"

"In high school, I was buddies with guys. It got really weird when they got crushes on me."

"Its a good song, the people like this song, dont you like this song?"

"Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to Martian people."

"I read children's books more than adult one's. I bring a copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with me wherever I go. It's twisted."

(talking about a shirt she has)"If I tuck it into my jeans, it feels like somebody took a cookie and just crumbled it in my pants."
