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.

If I had to live my life in anticipation of what others thought of me, little would get done.
Henry Rollins

For me, music was an age/time/place thing. One day I woke up and realized I was done. That was many years ago.

Here you can be a billionaire, like Mark Zuckerberg rich, but you are going to die and you are here for a while and ultimately all of your stuff is kind of like a rental.

No one should die when they're 50.
Henry Rollins

All by yourself, unable to express the pain of your distress with your deeper inside. You alienate yourself and everybody else.

I'm not a thrill seeker. I'm not looking to get kidnapped. I'm not looking to get a shot at. I've been shot at. I didn't like it.

While I disagree with our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, I have nothing but respect and admiration for the men and women deployed in these places.

I don't have many friends so the phone doesn't ring and no one's asking me to go out and go dancing with them.

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.
