Florida is a crazy place, and I have played some of the wildest shows of my life here.
Henry Rollins
Image
I always found the Chicago audience to be a smart, fast-moving, violent and cheerful lot, and it's always good to be back.
Henry Rollins
Image
The ecstatic insanity of romantic pursuit can be so enhanced by music that entire romantic conquests, victories and ruinous, crushing defeats can be tied to songs to such a degree that it's almost unbearable to listen to them again, as they bring back the memories so vividly.
Henry Rollins
Image
I don't really think about the audience much. I think of myself. Let me dig myself out of that one.
Henry Rollins
Image
I work pretty much every day. I can't really separate it from life, so I guess the work is my life.

As a teen, I heard the second Velvet Underground album, 'White Light/White Heat,' and it was too much for my limited scope of appreciation. It was intense, but I didn't get it.
Henry Rollins

I wasn't playing the music, the music was playing me... and once that went away, and I had the feeling I was playing music, I had to stop. The need to go onstage and get my brain flattened every night left me, and what I didn't wanna do is go onstage and perpetrate a fraud... You cannot fool an audience.

Every year, August lashes out in volcanic fury, rising with the din of morning traffic, its great metallic wings smashing against the ground, heating the air with ever-increasing intensity.
Henry Rollins
Image
If I think of the audience too much, then I'm going to start catering to them...and it turns into entertainment. And I've got time for entertainment I'm just not at all that interested in doing it myself. I'd rather go for some pretty raw expression.
Henry Rollins
Image
I don't want to fail the audience. I don't want to let them down.
Henry Rollins
Image
Travelling as extensively as I do... the take away for me has made me very humble and very sympathetic to other people's plight in the world and very desirous of being proactive in being part of a solution somehow and not part of a problem. It's made me very patient and very grateful for where I live.
Henry Rollins
Image
I'm not exactly ambitious as much as I have a very good realization of what I am and what I am capable of.
Henry Rollins
Image
Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul.
Henry Rollins
Image
I consider any gun that can chamber a round and send a projectile down its barrel at a high rate of speed into my body - causing me injury or death - to be an assault weapon.
Henry Rollins
Image
I used to love you I still do So Selfish I love the old you The you that didnt shoot drugs ...The you that didnt get beat on by men You laugh in my face and call me a fool But its true I still love you Sometimes,I can see the old you When your eyes flash When you almost look alive

I am a pretty crazy person, so it's best for me to be on my own most of the time.
Henry Rollins
Image
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.

Try driving the streets of Los Angeles without seeing a billboard depicting a film with a lead actor holding a gun. It's almost as if guns are harmless props used to bring out the cheekbones and jawline of the screen star.

I really enjoy the lattitude I have with being a private citizen. I can get a lot done. I am good with that.
