More quotes by Henry Rollins
I don't hate the government. I don't think the Second Amendment is being infringed upon.
Henry Rollins
I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities. In all of that, there is no spirituality required. No God and karma is needed for the numbers. I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.
Henry Rollins
Marriage equality is a term so ridiculous on its face that when you hear it mentioned, you would think you were in Riyadh. Years from now, perhaps we can lose the equality part, the same-sex part and call it what it is - marriage.
Henry Rollins
What you do for yourself is one thing. What you do for others is something else entirely.
Henry Rollins
Don’t think about it. Do it. Don’t talk about it. Do it.
Henry Rollins
We city dwellers, we residents of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, are for the most part urbanized to some extent. We know deadlines, start times and traffic.
Henry Rollins
Basically, men are afraid of women and can’t handle the fact that they came out of the same thing they spend the rest of their lives trying to get back into.
Henry Rollins
To this day, my haircut is the number two clippers, which I apply to myself every month.
Henry Rollins
Every summer, around late July and into August, I find myself in Europe, performing at any festival that will have me.
Henry Rollins
Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and the Iron into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind.
Henry Rollins
The fact is, in the minds of many, Trayvon Martin received the appropriate punishment for a true crime: He was black, male and dared to walk outside. In life, young Trayvon was just a teenager in death, he has been transformed into a scary, lurking, suspicious, prone-to-violence spook.
Henry Rollins
I don't want to play old music. To me, it is fighting battles that are already over and calling yourself a warrior. For me, I see no courage or adventure in doing the old thing over again. If others want to, that's for them. For myself, I have to move on. Life is too short to live in the past. There is a lot to be done.
Henry Rollins
I would like go to Palestine and interview people there about what their lives are like same thing in Iran.
Henry Rollins
I know that collector types can be a pain in the neck and seem perpetually frozen in time - or at least in their parents' basement - but someone has to look out for the past, lest it slip away forever.
Henry Rollins
Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isn't worth the time and effort.
Henry Rollins
I want to learn more about the world. It makes me want to get up and go.
Henry Rollins
Let's pretend my career in music is a bell. Whether you like my music or not is up to you. But you've got to admit I rang that bell pretty hard and pretty often.
Henry Rollins
For myself, I can't understand a life without a job. I don't know what I would do without employment. Retirement is out of the question for me.
Henry Rollins
I never think of what it's going to be like later. I only think in the present tense. The only time I think backwards is when I have to reissue something.
Henry Rollins
I always found the Chicago audience to be a smart, fast-moving, violent and cheerful lot, and it's always good to be back.
Henry Rollins
