More quotes by Maynard James Keenan

Maynard James Keenan
There's always somebody in your life you know that just, somehow, you know, they're just that borderline sociopath that just wants what they want and doesn't care about relationships. Everybody has several of those people in their life.
Maynard James Keenan
Sure, I love fairy tales.
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
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
We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
Maynard James Keenan

Actually I never did stand up. I'm not that funny.
Maynard James Keenan
There are people who are like monkeys in a cage just hitting the coke button. They don't really get that for [musicians and artists] to do these things, they have to fund them. They have to have something to pay the rent.
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
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

Maynard James Keenan
Prescott National Forest is right on the edge of my home in Arizona.
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
Finding beauty in the dissonance.
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
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
