More quotes by Henry Rollins
The times I have tried to get close to someone resulted in me feeling threatened and weak.
Henry Rollins
You can pass all the gun legislation you want. None of it will make me feel any more or less safe than I do right at this moment.
Henry Rollins
I get letters from young people telling me that they're broke and download my albums for free. They ask me what I think about that. I now have a standard line. I tell them, 'I would rather be heard than paid.'
Henry Rollins
August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I've been listening to in the late spring and summer.
Henry Rollins
I think, to a great degree, we humans still divide ourselves into two species, even though we are monotypic. There are males and females. We see them as different and not equal.
Henry Rollins
I lay off a lot modern fiction and only rely on living writers for non-fiction work.
Henry Rollins
'Duck Dynasty' is a ridiculous show, and long may it wave. America and democracy will endure. They've seen a lot worse.
Henry Rollins
Some music really does suck!
Henry Rollins
My acting range is incredibly limited and narrow, but I'm a good heavy. I'm a good authoritarian figure I don't know why. Can you be a cop? Sure. Can you be a Marine? Absolutely. Well, at least in a movie.
Henry Rollins
Here in this moment we are beautiful, nocturnal creatures and our thoughts and words are jewels guarded by the moon.
Henry Rollins
I come from a town of great musicians: Washington, D.C. It's no joke, that history.
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 don't have talent. I have tenacity.
Henry Rollins
Music, to me, is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.
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
We Americans look funny when we're in France because we don't travel, we are fairly un-cultured whereas Europeans go to Africa all the time because it's right there.
Henry Rollins
If I think of the audience too much, then I'm going to start catering to them...and it turns into entertainment. And I've got time for entertainment I'm just not at all that interested in doing it myself. I'd rather go for some pretty raw expression.
Henry Rollins
I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts.
Henry Rollins
I will take the acting work when I can get it. I am not really an actor, that's always apparent but it's work and I'll take it and am always glad for it.
Henry Rollins
Hating someone is giving them too much, just leave them alone.
Henry Rollins
