More quotes by Maynard James Keenan
I think the biggest problem working with me would be that I'm an only child, and so I have an internal dialogue that goes on that I just assume you can hear.
Maynard James Keenan
I feel like there's no real innovation in having some music. It's more just unique personalities and unique expressions, and you being able to tell your story.
Maynard James Keenan
There were a lot of choices to make and I always picked artist. I never once picked doctor, lawyer, firemen or something like that. It was always artist.
Maynard James Keenan
Actors have these delicate appendages called Egos.
Maynard James Keenan
Put a small child in a playpen with an apple and a bunny. If s/he eats the apple and plays with the bunny, s/he's normalbut if s/he eats the bunny and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car. Somewhere along the line we must have been TAUGHT to do the wrong thing.
Maynard James Keenan
I think the media made Manson, turned him into some larger than life figure and surrounded him with mystery and some shady glamour.
Maynard James Keenan
I think there's a reason why wine figures into so many religions. There's something transcendent about it. It's sort of the way that music is more than the sum of its parts. You have all these elements that make up the terroir that wine can communicate.
Maynard James Keenan
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment, remember: we are eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Maynard James Keenan
You can grow grapes in almost any part of the world. You just have to develop your palate enough to realize wine is an expression of the place where you make it. You don't have to take over the world just be an artist and express your area.
Maynard James Keenan
Jesus Christ, why dont you come save my life. Open my eyes and blind me with your light and your lies.
Maynard James Keenan
People get upset and it becomes an excuse to treat other people a certain way,but if you really step back, you realize what you've left behind.
Maynard James Keenan
I want to find a genie in a bottle that can grant me three wishes. I want to be able to speak, read, write, and understand any language ever written or spoken, just any language throughout the history of man. That would be one of my wishes from the genie, so I would have to put multilingual on the resume, should I ever find the genie.
Maynard James Keenan
If you take different mythologies from different cultures, the names may change and the story lines may vary but there is always something in common.
Maynard James Keenan
One of the challenges we set up for 'Puscifer' was to come up with a core identity and see how far we can push it.
Maynard James Keenan
Most religious stories and mythologies have some sort of similar root, some sort of global archetypes.
Maynard James Keenan
All I can do is say I smell a rat. I don't know where it is or what kind of rat it is, but as an artist, I can express how. But I couldn't responsibly stand up and tell people which way to go, because then I'm just as guilty as the people who are telling everybody else what to do and where to go.
Maynard James Keenan
I believe that when you go into a gallery or a museum, the most powerful pieces are the ones that don't have the words in the corner that distract you from the larger piece.
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
Yeah, because I think it's more important just to inspire people to wake up one day and pick up a book and start feeling it out for themselves.
Maynard James Keenan
Everything revolves around the music when it comes to Tool.
