More quotes by Henry Rollins
I think there is something very interesting about people who live day to day in an environment where they could get taken out by a wild animal. There has to be some kind respect that is derived from that relationship.
Henry Rollins
Not that the writers weren't good. I believe in those books and those writers very much. It's just that in the climate it's really hard to keep the lights on and the doors open when you're selling poetry and literature that appeals to a fringe audience.
Henry Rollins
I think in rural settings, people have a different appreciation for animals than might the city dweller. In parts of India where poisonous snake bite is common, people have a much different value system. I live in a city. I'm not thinking about wolves, lions, etc.
Henry Rollins
I like it better that people aren't throwing stuff at my face and trying to fight me on stage. Like in the '80s, it was just aggravating all the time... I have scars from cigars and cigarettes on me, Bic pens, burns from cigarette lighters, all that.
Henry Rollins
I was at the first Minor Threat show, and you could tell, 'This band is going to be the king of the town.' It was obvious. They were so good.
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
I don't really think about the audience much. I think of myself. Let me dig myself out of that one.

I think Americans really need to start thinking globally. As resources become more dear, we will be pulled closer to the rest of the world anyway.
Henry Rollins
Everyone should have the right to go off and do their music or do their books. The people who are in the position to censor they're really not down to reality where that certain artists are coming from.
Henry Rollins
The first Van Halen album makes Johnny Rotten out to be what he really was and still is: a hairdresser.
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
Where there is young people and vitality, you're going to find punk rock.
Henry Rollins
If you paid Americans a living wage, they would be able to pay for products made by Americans in America.
Henry Rollins
Have you ever heard the expression 'one hot mess?' I think the term was custom-made for the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford.
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 mind bees and think we are all the better for having them around. I like the taste of honey.
Henry Rollins
I'm actually on the Twitter like all those crazy young kids are, and if I'm going to do an in-store appearance or I post something on my website, I tweet these followers, a word I don't like so much, and over 50,000 people go, like, 'Okay, I got it.'
Henry Rollins
Technically speaking, there is no music whatsoever on a CD. Lots of information, but no music.
Henry Rollins
You never have to listen to a famous person, it's an elective.
Henry Rollins
Try driving the streets of Los Angeles without seeing a billboard depicting a film with a lead actor holding a gun. It's almost as if guns are harmless props used to bring out the cheekbones and jawline of the screen star.
