I'm not a thrill seeker. I'm not looking to get kidnapped. I'm not looking to get a shot at. I've been shot at. I didn't like it.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles.
Henry Rollins
When I was a kid looking at pictures of the Sphynx, and the Pyramids, and different tribes in Africa, all of that stuck with me, and I always wanted to see those things and meet those people.
Henry Rollins
If it's a man's world, as they say, then men, your world is a poorly run carnage fest.
Henry Rollins
The average is the borderline that keeps mere men in their place. Those who step over the line are heroes by the very act. Go.
Henry Rollins
America is a country born from semi-mythologized blood, glory and acts of selfless patriotic sacrifice.
Henry Rollins
I don't consider myself an actor, for me it's employment. Like the actor who's a waiter a lot, I'm an actor when I'm not on tour, in that that's a job I can do.
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
Well, there's Katrina, but you can go through lots of Kurdistan and it looks like Katrina was just there but there's people living in it.
Henry Rollins
Don't hide behind the Constitution or the Bible. If you're against gay marriage, just be honest, put a scarlet 'H' on your shirt, and say, 'I am a homophobe!'
Henry Rollins
My feelings for you shame me into silence.
Henry Rollins
One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.
Henry Rollins
Motivation has always been a fascinating factor when considering a touring artist, especially when the years stack up. What keeps one out there year after year?
Henry Rollins
I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities. In all of that, there is no spirituality required. No God and karma is needed for the numbers. I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.
Henry Rollins
There's always going to be a need for activism there's always going to be a need for you and me doing the right thing, being very Lincoln-sonian in looking out for each other.
Henry Rollins
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
If a slave were to raise his voice to his master, he risked all manner of punishment. Yet what was possible in many circumstances was to lift one's voice in song. This was a major ingredient in what is now known as blues and gospel. Slaves may have been regarded as subhuman by their cruel captors, but through music, they were proud and dignified.
Henry Rollins
The Bad Seeds are a band I will travel a great distance to see whenever possible.
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 that America certainly has racism, I think that any industrialized country does. But when you see how many million fans Barack Obama has who are not black, it would lead one to the conclusion that millions of Americans are in fact not burdened by the albatross of racism.
Henry Rollins
I do think that Americans are poorly served by their media, at times extremely poorly served by their elected officials who are non responsive to majority feelings and cut off to a certain degree from the affairs of the world.
