More quotes by Henry Rollins
Desperation is the secret to my steady employment. I am not interested in downtime. I really like to keep working all the time and I always feel like I'm in the mail room of life working up.
Henry Rollins
We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
Henry Rollins
You are the untold story. You are the impassioned truth wanting to scream its existence, to be forever trapped by a strong hand clapped firmly over the mouth of my soul.
Henry Rollins
I once asked Ozzy Osbourne, truly one of my favorite people in the world, if he was cool with singing Black Sabbath songs year after year, whether he was performing with Black Sabbath or out on a solo tour. He said it was great.
Henry Rollins
I simply cannot understand how any parent could kill themselves.
Henry Rollins
Travelling as extensively as I do... the take away for me has made me very humble and very sympathetic to other people's plight in the world and very desirous of being proactive in being part of a solution somehow and not part of a problem. It's made me very patient and very grateful for where I live.
Henry Rollins
The best compliment I get every year is that a band will write me and say, 'We were just on tour, and we had people coming to our show saying they had never heard us before they heard us on your show.'
Henry Rollins
I could fall in love with a cruel desert that kills without passion, a canyon full of scorpions, one thousand blinding arctic storms, a century sealed in a cave, a river of molten salt flowing down my throat. But never with you.
Henry Rollins
You might as well enjoy the day - you never know when and how painfully it could all end.
Henry Rollins
When people make my country look bad, I can't stand it.
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 definitely learned a lesson this time. I know that I can be broken. I am not as tough as I thought. I see it now. At this point, it's the only thing good that came out of all of this. I know myself better now and know what I have to do.
Henry Rollins
Like a lot of inwardly drawn young people, I spent a lot of time in libraries. At my high school, I often spent my lunch breaks there.
Henry Rollins
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!
Henry Rollins
Being unique is never easy, and often, by the time culture catches up with you, there are only a few people who notice.
Henry Rollins
If it were a choice between me getting killed or one of my friend's kids, I would happily take the shot.
Henry Rollins
Every single record I have is a fossil.
Henry Rollins
I am very ambitious in a way, in that I'm not trying to be the richest guy or whatever. I just really like my work.
Henry Rollins
The world’s a better place since I chose music. I like the physical aspect of it, the volume and the intensity of it. It’s loud and hard. I like all that because inside me I feel like screaming.
Henry Rollins
Having an identity is one thing. Being born into an identity is quite a different matter.
Henry Rollins
