"Everything revolves around the music when it comes to Tool."

Maynard James Keenan

“I shall become, I shall become a collector of me. And put meat on my soul.”
“Boys are different from girls, but boys are also different from other boys, just as girls are different from other girls. Calling a book for boys or for girls is well-meaning, but to me, not terribly helpful.”
“I love life. I wish I could live another 500 years, truly. There is so much to do. I don't feel bitter or angry or disappointed. If anything, I am very grateful for where I come from. I have absolutely no regrets.”
“For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.”
“It's like a cast of actors; you're all working together closely under pressure to produce something everyday. And when we put up an issue, it's like the curtains opening on a new play. I really like that daily sense of surprise.”
“So much of the hubris that surrounded conceptual art in the 1950s through '70s was that it had this arrogant presupposition that pointing in and of itself was a creative act. It never rigorously politically and socially analyzed the fact that the luxury to point is something that so many people throughout the world don't have.”
“Just to be mentioned in the same sentence with those guys feels good, but I want to take it to another level. I respect those guys because they did it. I'm trying to get where they're at, where people talk about me bringing a championship here.”
“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.”
