More quotes by Henry Rollins
The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found.
Henry Rollins
You could split hairs and bring up words like 'doo-wop' and terms like 'soul' or 'R&B', but I think pop music is what you want it to be - that's why it's pop.
Henry Rollins
Motivation has always been a fascinating factor when considering a touring artist, especially when the years stack up. What keeps one out there year after year?
Henry Rollins
Youths write me and tell me that their band will go nowhere because of all the bad bands in the world. I tell them there has always been awful music and that no great band ever wasted any time complaining, they just got it done. Their ropey ranting is just a way to get out of the hard work of making music that will do some lasting damage.
Henry Rollins
The world’s a better place since I chose music. I like the physical aspect of it, the volume and the intensity of it. It’s loud and hard. I like all that because inside me I feel like screaming.
Henry Rollins
Nothing moves me more than the history of the United States.
Henry Rollins
Michele Bachmann is always a great person to go to for an opinion about anything. She has a very active and interesting mind.
Henry Rollins
I want to learn more about the world. It makes me want to get up and go.
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
If I could go to Kabul and not die, I would go back to Afghanistan as soon as I could. And, that was the most interesting place that I've been to.
Henry Rollins
I don't know how much you follow current events. For some, there's not enough time to keep up on what's happening for others, the news is too depressing, and peering too deeply fills one with boiling frustration all too quickly.
Henry Rollins
It's difficult for me to be around anyone for longer than an hour. Love, death, elation, sorrow, I just don't care all that much about any of it. I am at this point, more of an observer/journalist.
Henry Rollins
In the city of Pyongyang, you don't have to look very far to see an image of the Great Leader, Kim Il Sung. They love the guy. He is responsible for the wonder that is North Korea.
Henry Rollins
If American forces leave Afghanistan, the Taliban is going to do what to America? Don't say you're worried about what they will do to the Afghan people. If that was America's concern, America's operational presence there would be much different.
Henry Rollins
It took me until my teenage years to realize that I was medicating with music. I was pushing back against my stupid school uniform, instructors who called me by my last name and my classmates, who, while friendly enough, were not at all inspiring.
Henry Rollins
As far as what people think of me, maybe my stuff should just be put online for free downloads when I'm gone.
Henry Rollins
I feel like a visitor that got left behind by his ride.
Henry Rollins
For many years, my favorite director has been the Japanese giant Akira Kurosawa.
Henry Rollins
I didn't want to work at Pizza Hut and I didn't want to join the Army. So I just decided to go out and be awesome.
Henry Rollins
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.
Henry Rollins
