Maynard James Keenan
I always knew that I wanted to be creative, that I wanted to create something
Maynard James Keenan
Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.
Maynard James Keenan
I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.
Maynard James Keenan
The army influences everything I do. Certainly it teaches you discipline, which is a necessary element of development. I think there's more of a collaborative understanding in the band because of that.
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
Actually I never did stand up. I'm not that funny.
Maynard James Keenan
But then it hasn't really been a focus of our government to make us an educated people.
