More quotes by Henry Rollins
The Wacken festival started more than 20 years ago with just a few hundred people in attendance. Tickets now sell out before the lineup is announced.
Henry Rollins
Now, if someone wants to spit on me, I just roll up the window of my BMW 540i.
Henry Rollins
When the Iron doesn't want to come off the mat, it's the kindest thing it can do for you. If it flew up and went through the ceiling, it wouldn't teach you anything.
Henry Rollins
Being unique is never easy, and often, by the time culture catches up with you, there are only a few people who notice.
Henry Rollins
I have built my life to pursue the new. I don't have family, don't know many people and I am usually ready to leave within an hour.
Henry Rollins
August in sub-Saharan Los Angeles is one of the great and awful tests of one's endurance, sanity and stamina.
Henry Rollins
If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.
Henry Rollins
As far as poetry, I don't know if I've ever written any. I've read a lot. I just write and it comes out in different forms and shapes. I don't know if I'm any good at it I just really go for it and I'm very prolific book wise only because I own the company. No one tells me 'no' around here.
Henry Rollins
I do a lot of stuff for free anyway. Like a lot of people who you see who don't need money. Mick Jagger - he needs money? He just likes to go sing Satisfaction every night. If I wrote that song I probably would do it too.
Henry Rollins
If I had to live my life in anticipation of what others thought of me, little would get done.
Henry Rollins
Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.
Henry Rollins
I think in rural settings, people have a different appreciation for animals than might the city dweller. In parts of India where poisonous snake bite is common, people have a much different value system. I live in a city. I'm not thinking about wolves, lions, etc.
Henry Rollins
Smart people make good choices. They dig science and say 'no' to the invasion of sovereign nations for the pleasure of corporations.
Henry Rollins
I wonder what it's like to be from a state that is spread across a few islands way out in the Pacific Ocean, only added to the United States in 1959. Not only that but to be the birthplace of America's first black president? Pretty cool, I bet.
Henry Rollins
The streets lie, the sidewalks lie, everything lies You can try and read it but you're gonna get it wrong...all wrong The summer evenings burn and melt and the nights glitter but you're gonna get it wrong And it's gonna sink its teeth into your flesh and pull you to the bottom.
Henry Rollins
I don't mind bees and think we are all the better for having them around. I like the taste of honey.
Henry Rollins
The easy solution isn't the solution, it's the problem.
Henry Rollins
You can't get your head around something if you're yelling.
Henry Rollins
If there is one set of laws, one Constitution for every citizen, its protections hopefully applied equally to all, then why do the results seem to differ so radically? What do you call that? Look around - you're living in it.
Henry Rollins
I like it better that people aren't throwing stuff at my face and trying to fight me on stage. Like in the '80s, it was just aggravating all the time... I have scars from cigars and cigarettes on me, Bic pens, burns from cigarette lighters, all that.
Henry Rollins
