More quotes by Henry Rollins
As performers grow older, I reckon there are two ways they can go. They can either be up there, playing more deeply from their guts than ever, or they can be phoning it in so crassly that it leaves a lump in your throat as you leave the venue at the end of the show.
Henry Rollins
Russia is tough. The history, the land, the people - brutal.
Henry Rollins
What you do for yourself is one thing. What you do for others is something else entirely.
Henry Rollins
The scars will take me far, they always do.
Henry Rollins
Some soldier will say, 'You know, sir, you and I have some political disagreements, but I'm glad you came all the way out here.' And you know, you say, 'Well, maybe one day you'll see the light but I'm glad to be out here with you.'
Henry Rollins
Without an education, you won't have a future.
Henry Rollins
As far as I have been able to understand, the Japanese seem to keep things close to the vest. Friendly but remote and polite to the point of being invisible. It is in the music, literature, film and art that the Japanese really seem to express themselves.
Henry Rollins
When she comes She pulls you close She breathes in short bursts Her eyes close Her head tilts back Her mouth opens slightly Her thighs turn to steel, and then melt She is perfect And you feel like you are everything.
Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins
Cynicism is only intellectual sloth.
Henry Rollins
I'm most comfortable on stage.
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
A text conversation is a short exchange of often grossly truncated language that corresponds to a thought made all the more shallow by the process.
Henry Rollins
You have to get away from them. You have to get as far away as you can otherwise they'll kill you with their lives. They don't know what they do. They are careless with themselves and they take too much for granted. They make their shortcomings your problem. The only way to keep your head above it and heal your wounds is to crawl away.
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
The arts in America exist in spite of America, not because of America.
Henry Rollins
Here you can be a billionaire, like Mark Zuckerberg rich, but you are going to die and you are here for a while and ultimately all of your stuff is kind of like a rental.
Henry Rollins
I have no desire to write anything for screen. That's a great talent.
Henry Rollins
We occupy the planet with a vengeance. We seek to dominate it.
Henry Rollins
I don't have many friends so the phone doesn't ring and no one's asking me to go out and go dancing with them.
