You might as well enjoy the day - you never know when and how painfully it could all end.
Henry Rollins
Image
I lay off a lot modern fiction and only rely on living writers for non-fiction work.
Henry Rollins
Image
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
Image
Smart people make good choices. They dig science and say 'no' to the invasion of sovereign nations for the pleasure of corporations.
Henry Rollins
Image
I feel like a visitor that got left behind by his ride.

After having read a lot of fiction, literature, whatever you want to call it, from Wolfe to Houellebecq, I think you have to have an understanding and insight of the human condition that is informed and motivated by a desire to immerse yourself in the human world and bring these stories to bear.

The Ninja, as you know, operates by stealth. And so, case in point: I put out records... no one hears them! I make videos... (whispers) no one sees! I go on tour.... (whispers) no one knows! NINJA! I was never here!

I am primarily a loner. I don't go to clubs. I don't hang out with people. I don't know many people. It's just the way it ended up. It's not a sob story it's fine for me.

To me, the real 'state of the union' is found in how Americans react to current events.

If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.
Henry Rollins
Image
I'm constantly around people that talk a lot but say nothing. A sad case.
Henry Rollins
Image
My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don't like it, don't condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from.
Henry Rollins
Image
I'm a liar. I'll rip your mind up. I'll burn your soul, I'll turn you in to me.
Henry Rollins
Image
I just work, to the exclusion of most other things. I rarely work in a frenzied manner, just kind of - if you take the beater that whips the icing or the eggs into shape - on the upper end of medium speed, that's kind of how I am about seven days a week.

You can still function as a living ruin.
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.
Henry Rollins
Image
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
Image
Florida is a crazy place, and I have played some of the wildest shows of my life here.
Henry Rollins
Image
Rock is ironic in that, up to a certain point, you can get better and better at it if you don't mind possibly looking more and more ridiculous.
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.
