Desperation is the secret to my steady employment. I am not interested in downtime. I really like to keep working all the time and I always feel like I'm in the mail room of life working up.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
The material you work with is that which you will come to resemble. That which you work against will always work against you, including yourself.
Henry Rollins
I come from a town of great musicians: Washington, D.C. It's no joke, that history.
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 forged myself out of a vacuum. I crawl along the highway on hacked off stumps year after year. Some wonder how and why. I never do.
Henry Rollins
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
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
Barack Obama's administration responded to the Haitian crisis within 24 hours. Here comes the soldiers, here comes the food, go go go... Rush Limbaugh told his multi-millions of listeners that Obama only did that to gain favour with black people in America. This is the kind of idiocy that I have to deal with in my country.
Henry Rollins
I'm not in a position where I get to pick and choose roles. I usually go on auditions in long lines and embarrass myself in front of casting directors, and with a lump in my throat and my ears burning, I walk past reception and smirking actors as I go to the parking garage and go back on the highway.
Henry Rollins
You can still function as a living ruin.
Henry Rollins
He said that hate makes the world go round People are afraid of what they really want They make enemies of all the things that they would like to be They condition themselves to not embrace what they are Love is a clinging nausea I tried to disagree with him It was no use I never saw a more honest look in anyone's eyes.
Henry Rollins
The ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to pull you down.
Henry Rollins
The more you own, the more it owns you.
Henry Rollins
But I have a good life. I enjoy what I do. I am married to work.
Henry Rollins
If it's a man's world, as they say, then men, your world is a poorly run carnage fest.
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
I think the U.K. is an amazing place and has been extremely good to me. Some of my favorite and most-listened-to bands are from England. I have met many good people there and have been in front of some of the most loyal audiences I have ever encountered.
Henry Rollins
I don't have a wife, I don't have any kids, I don't have any addictions that keep me drooling on the couch, and I'm kind of target oriented.
Henry Rollins
I really enjoy the lattitude I have with being a private citizen. I can get a lot done. I am good with that.
Henry Rollins
For me, music was an age/time/place thing. One day I woke up and realized I was done. That was many years ago.
Henry Rollins
I wonder how Colin Powell sleeps at night. I would like to have a word with him because he lied. He lied. He lied to me. He lied to my face through the camera at the U.N.
Henry Rollins
