More quotes by Henry Rollins
It is very difficult to tell Americans that they can't do something.
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
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
I don't really write for fun it's not an enjoyable experience. For me, art, or whatever the hell it is I do, has always been a refuge from that which makes me want to tear my lungs out. That's why I play like I play I'm not into entertainment.
Henry Rollins
This is my 25th year of being on stage. A lot of people who I kind of toed up to the starting line with are no longer in this position. I feel very, very lucky.
Henry Rollins
George Zimmerman is a foot soldier in a rapidly privatizing country. He is a new centurion of 21st-century America. Law enforcement is tied down by the strictures of, well, the law. There is only 'so much they can do' to take care of the 'problem.'
Henry Rollins
I'm not trying to amass people in the streets. I just want them to be more aware.
Henry Rollins
You can still function as a living ruin.
Henry Rollins
I'm not interested in censorship. I like the First Amendment very much.
Henry Rollins
If the truth is told how I want to be remembered... as someone who cared. Someone who worked really hard and someone who didn't sit around.
Henry Rollins
With any advent in technology, any technological innovation, there is the good and the bad.
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
The best compliment I get every year is that a band will write me and say, 'We were just on tour, and we had people coming to our show saying they had never heard us before they heard us on your show.'
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
I take the work seriously, just not myself in it.
Henry Rollins
As a young person, I was on the road playing music, so I was getting new environments shoved in my face whether I wanted them or not.
Henry Rollins
My love runs deeper than the wounds.
Henry Rollins
America is a country born from semi-mythologized blood, glory and acts of selfless patriotic sacrifice.
Henry Rollins
I was never told to Get up, get out there, get a job. It was never a thing either parent ever said I had to do. It was what I wanted to do. I think I was very interested in being away from them as much as possible. Employment was great for that.
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
