More quotes by Maynard James Keenan

Maynard James Keenan
Knuckle deep inside the borderline. This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to. Relax. Slip away.
Maynard James Keenan
You know, I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell.
Maynard James Keenan
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
Maynard James Keenan
I think that people get outraged over things. I think what we really need is a kind of borderline extinction level event to get people back to caring about what really matters.
Maynard James Keenan
But then it hasn't really been a focus of our government to make us an educated people.
Maynard James Keenan
The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.
Maynard James Keenan
