No time for drug addiction, no time for smoke or booze. Too strong for a shortened life span, I've got no time to lose.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
I don't cuss in songs. It's too easy.
Henry Rollins
Do it or don't. It's amazing how many things in life are that easy.
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
I am primarily a loner. I don't go to clubs. I don't hang out with people. I don't know many people. It's just the way it ended up. It's not a sob story it's fine for me.
Henry Rollins
The more you own, the more it owns you.
Henry Rollins
Music keeps you young. Having music in your life keeps you open to things.
Henry Rollins
I've always seen it as the role of an artist to drag his inside out, give the audience all you've got. Writers, actors, singers, all good artists do the same. It isn't supposed to be easy.
Henry Rollins
As so much music is listened to via MP3 download, many will never experience the joy of analog playback, and for them, I feel sorry. They are missing out.
Henry Rollins
As a teen, I heard the second Velvet Underground album, 'White Light/White Heat,' and it was too much for my limited scope of appreciation. It was intense, but I didn't get it.
Henry Rollins
If you hate your parents, the man or the establishment, don't show them up by getting wasted and wrapping your car around a tree. If you really want to rebel against your parents, out-learn them, outlive them, and know more than they do.
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
I was happy to find out that when on tour, Dolly Parton doesn't use hotels but stays on her bus every night, to the point of having her buses shipped from Austria to Australia so she can tour the way she sees fit. I used one of her buses once - an honor.
Henry Rollins
I don't really have any women in my life, actually those two - the women in my life are two married women who work at my office.
Henry Rollins
Of course same sex marriage is constitutional! The right to be yourself, to pursue life, liberty, and property, is protected several ways over several amendments. John Boehner should know this.
Henry Rollins
It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.
Henry Rollins
I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to tour with the Beastie Boys and watched almost every set they played on all those dates. Why not? You do your set and then you get to see the Beasties play? Best deal in town.
Henry Rollins
What I'm saying is America has a job deficit because hundreds of thousands of jobs went elsewhere. Not because [Barack] Obama raised your taxes. He, in fact, lowered them. They are lower.
Henry Rollins
I think to write fiction, this is just how I see it, you have to have a powerful need/desire to connect. I can't. Wanting to and not being able to has lead to a lot of misery in my life.
Henry Rollins
After I left D.C. to join Black Flag, I felt I was in a band.
Henry Rollins
In my bright, utopian future world, they will hand out college educations like cups of water at the end of the L.A. Marathon.
Henry Rollins
