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

Disappointment always arrives before hope and the darkness of night comes before the dawn. Don't lose hope now because things will brighter with the new day.

Image
I am very ambitious in a way, in that I'm not trying to be the richest guy or whatever. I just really like my work.
Henry Rollins
Image
I think politicians get hamstrung by the nature of politics when the private sector can really do great things.
Henry Rollins
Image
I do my best to limit the amount of compromise in my life so I have more time to do what I want. Not hanging out with many people really helps. I am not a people person and I spend a great deal of time on my own and in this environment, I get a lot done.

I get letters from young people telling me that they're broke and download my albums for free. They ask me what I think about that. I now have a standard line. I tell them, 'I would rather be heard than paid.'

I contribute a large amount of money to the Southern Poverty Law Center, so I'm on their mailing list for all their Klan Watch newsletters. I'm very well aware of White Power movements in America.

We are occupants. No one has any lasting purchase on life or on the planet.
Henry Rollins

I have to do things for myself, and if those standards are set high, then it's up to me to pass or fail.
Henry Rollins
Image
Mr. Christ, I read you as an infinitely patient entity who, as they say, often works in mysterious ways, a rebel unafraid to take the tougher, less traveled paths. Seems to me you're playing the long game. Is that why more states are coming out in favor of marriage equality? Is that why the Affordable Care Act is now with us?

Cynicism is only intellectual sloth.

Image
I lay off a lot modern fiction and only rely on living writers for non-fiction work.

Every single record I have is a fossil.

The public library system of the United States is worth preserving.

I think more tolerance, more people having more access to a chance to be literate, and a chance to stay healthy makes for a more peaceful planet.
Henry Rollins

My desires are foolish. The things I want are better kept to myself. The hand of silence is steady. The hard blade of silence is clean like night. The code is absolute. Silence is eternal and patient. Silence never makes a fool of itself like I have so many times.
