Henry Rollins

I just want to be able to stand up straight for a little while before I get cut down.
Henry Rollins
Image
I have never experienced anything like walking out onto the stage of an oversold venue and, before the first note is struck, realizing that there is not going to be enough oxygen for all of us.
Henry Rollins
Image
I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of view.
Henry Rollins
Image
The blues is losing someone you love and not having enough money to immerse yourself in drink.
Henry Rollins
Image
There is no way you are going to be forgiven for blowing up a village and killing a bunch of people.
Henry Rollins
Image
In my many trips to South Africa, I have met and spoken to a lot of people there, and they all seem to find apartheid as repellent as you would.
Henry Rollins
Image
It is just that I don't want a wife and I don't want kids.
Henry Rollins
Image
Everything you do makes my body scream with loneliness.

The opportunity to write for the 'L.A. Weekly' has been one of the better breaks that has come my way in a long time.
