When people hold you in high esteem, it's very delicate relationship. When they meet you they're putting all their chips up. It's make or break.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
I think marriage is a boring and fault-ridden contractual obligation.
Henry Rollins
No one should die when they're 50.
Henry Rollins
I do my best to limit the amount of compromise in my life so I have more time to do what I want. Not hanging out with many people really helps. I am not a people person and I spend a great deal of time on my own and in this environment, I get a lot done.
Henry Rollins
I see violence in myself I've done some pretty violent things in my lifetime and I've been around some pretty severe violence all the way up to homicide.
Henry Rollins
The most interesting place by far was Afghanistan. Just because it is a place that I cannot see myself living. The hardness of the people and the history of the country is just so completely intense.
Henry Rollins
The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found.
Henry Rollins
With writing, there are multiple drafts. On stage, there is one take. I do a lot of preparation for shows, so, for the most part, what you hear me say is pretty much what I wanted to get at.
Henry Rollins
It is impossible, after a certain point, to go back to a previous way of life, a previous way of thinking.
Henry Rollins
Muscle mass does not always equal strength. Strength is kindness and sensitivity. Strength is understanding that your power is both physical and emotional. That it comes from the body and the mind. And the heart.
Henry Rollins
The times I have tried to get close to someone resulted in me feeling threatened and weak.
Henry Rollins
I'm a big Germs fan most people are.
Henry Rollins
I forged myself out of a vacuum. I crawl along the highway on hacked off stumps year after year. Some wonder how and why. I never do.
Henry Rollins
My mother taught me how to read very early on and at school I was ahead of everyone in class... Reading was always something that I liked because I could do it alone and I was alone a lot of the time with my mother working the hours she did. Books became my friends very early on.
Henry Rollins
That's the only interaction I have with people, those talking shows. Most of the people in my phone book are artists, management, producers, engineers. I don't ever call people with, Hi! How are you? I say, How are you? Do you have that 16/30 ready? When do you want me to come into the studio? That's what I do.
Henry Rollins
If you listen to the way I speak and watch the way I conduct myself - there's nothing about me that's rock n' roll. It's like, 'Hello, I'm in a rock n' roll band'. 'No, you're a narc.'
Henry Rollins
While I have no empirical evidence to back this up, I bet that the number of homosexual people per thousand has not fluctuated all that much over the centuries. I do not believe the dented wisdom my father used to extol, that homosexuality was a sure sign of a civilization in decline.
Henry Rollins
It is instilled in thousands of American males from an early age that one of their requirements is to be able to both dish out and take a lot of pain. They are taught the rules of this road in gyms, rings, backyards and fields all over America.
Henry Rollins
I have always thought that change you can see and feel is best.
Henry Rollins
Do you know why Albert Camus was so prolific? He wrote to keep from screaming.
Henry Rollins
I'm not much of an improv guy. That's a talent I don't have.
Henry Rollins
