More quotes by Henry Rollins
There's no rule that you have to like Henry Rollins the musician or the actor.
Henry Rollins
I get a lot of shit because I put I in the lyrics all the time. The I is always for someone else... When I say I, it's so that when that person is singing along with the song, it empowers them.
Henry Rollins
I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.
Henry Rollins
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
Music files and downloading have indeed changed the currency of music to a great degree.
Henry Rollins
As performers grow older, I reckon there are two ways they can go. They can either be up there, playing more deeply from their guts than ever, or they can be phoning it in so crassly that it leaves a lump in your throat as you leave the venue at the end of the show.
Henry Rollins
August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I've been listening to in the late spring and summer.
Henry Rollins
Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
Henry Rollins
Humans will take a rain forest and lose it and cover it with concrete. They will take the woods and turn it into a parking garage and I am not saying that's bad. I am just saying that's what we do. We occupy the planet with a vengeance. We seek to dominate it.
Henry Rollins
I am too far gone to be rehabilitated.
Henry Rollins
I think that Goldman Sachs and the Pentagon determine more of America's outcome then any president or any congress, that sounds a bit cynical, but I think I am right.
Henry Rollins
Canadians are often a friendly bunch.
Henry Rollins
August used to be a sad month for me. As the days went on, the thought of school starting weighed heavily upon my young frame. That, coupled with the oppressive heat and humidity of my native Washington, D.C., only seemed to heighten the misery.
Henry Rollins
I'm not much of an improv guy. That's a talent I don't have.
Henry Rollins
When Black Flag and DOA and all those bands were touring in the early 80s, it was kind of a forest and you just kind of got your way through it. Now it's like a six lane highway with Starbucks every twenty meters. That's just civilization.
Henry Rollins
Politics is a thing that I follow because it determines what is going on in my country, but I vote and deal with politicians with a great degree of jaundiced eye.
Henry Rollins
Keep your blood clean, your body lean, and your mind sharp.
Henry Rollins
I never think of what it's going to be like later. I only think in the present tense. The only time I think backwards is when I have to reissue something.
Henry Rollins
The fact is, in the minds of many, Trayvon Martin received the appropriate punishment for a true crime: He was black, male and dared to walk outside. In life, young Trayvon was just a teenager in death, he has been transformed into a scary, lurking, suspicious, prone-to-violence spook.
Henry Rollins
I just want to be able to stand up straight for a little while before I get cut down.
Henry Rollins
