Basically, men are afraid of women and can’t handle the fact that they came out of the same thing they spend the rest of their lives trying to get back into.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
Could it be that violence is as much a part of the American identity as the Constitution, and a vital component to its economic stability?
Henry Rollins
When I am in Africa, I realize I don't know much, have not seen much, and there's a lot to be done.
Henry Rollins
I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.
Henry Rollins
Maybe I'm ego-tripping, but I don't find myself a particularly horrible person, so I don't think I need to hold back anything I think or feel.
Henry Rollins
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
I've been in Iraq, and it never occurred to me to go, 'Hey, this war is bogus,' to some guy who's 24 hours a day trying not to get shot at or blown up.
Henry Rollins
I don't really think about the audience much. I think of myself. Let me dig myself out of that one.
Henry Rollins
I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.
Henry Rollins
Trying to write music, be in a band and keep it all happening is one of the hardest, morale-destroying, heartbreaking things you will ever try to do - and that's when it's going well.
Henry Rollins
Americans have been dumbed down to the point where more people watching 'American Idol' than listen to the state of the union address. And that's too bad. I'm not trying to take any bread out of the mouth of Simon Cowell, but if the president is speaking to the people of the United States, and people are going to watch 'American Idol,' that's sad.
Henry Rollins
I'm most in my element on tour, with a gig that day, like today. I'm on the road where I am supposed to be. I will be where I'm supposed to be at nighttime, on stage, in front of people, doing my thing.
Henry Rollins
I would like go to Palestine and interview people there about what their lives are like same thing in Iran.
Henry Rollins
Barack Obama's administration responded to the Haitian crisis within 24 hours. Here comes the soldiers, here comes the food, go go go... Rush Limbaugh told his multi-millions of listeners that Obama only did that to gain favour with black people in America. This is the kind of idiocy that I have to deal with in my country.
Henry Rollins
There is a lot to say about what Bikini Kill and other 'riot grrrl' bands were able to achieve when they first set out. They were not some momentary, convulsive, creative spasm of independent music. There was a very real, relevant point of view being expressed.
Henry Rollins
Just understand that the end began long ago We got here just in time Look All the squares in the sidewalks were already there All these strangers have more money than you do All the good riffs have been taken And everyone is so scared Murder is commonplace I don't even flinch at the gunshots outside my window I feel lonely without them
Henry Rollins
Between the Dinosaur Jr. albums and his recent solo albums, 'Several Shades of Why' and 'Heavy Blanket,' J Mascis is emerging as one of the last men from all that '80s indie madness, still writing songs that you want to listen to over and over.
Henry Rollins
The public library system of the United States is worth preserving.
Henry Rollins
It wasn't until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout.
Henry Rollins
I don't want to fail the audience. I don't want to let them down.
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
