With writing, there are multiple drafts. On stage, there is one take. I do a lot of preparation for shows, so, for the most part, what you hear me say is pretty much what I wanted to get at.

I feel like a visitor that got left behind by his ride.
Henry Rollins
I can't remember that I ever had just a minute of stage fright.
Henry Rollins
When people make my country look bad, I can't stand it.
Henry Rollins
To this day, my haircut is the number two clippers, which I apply to myself every month.
Henry Rollins
Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and the Iron into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind.
Henry Rollins
When she comes She pulls you close She breathes in short bursts Her eyes close Her head tilts back Her mouth opens slightly Her thighs turn to steel, and then melt She is perfect And you feel like you are everything.
Henry Rollins
Youths write me and tell me that their band will go nowhere because of all the bad bands in the world. I tell them there has always been awful music and that no great band ever wasted any time complaining, they just got it done. Their ropey ranting is just a way to get out of the hard work of making music that will do some lasting damage.
Henry Rollins
Songs sung under duress are often very powerful.
Henry Rollins
I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of view.
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
Entertainment's hard on the ego. I see why actors are so psycho now. Because there's so much 'we don't want you' going on in acting. Even big people get rejected but the smaller people - they really get rejected. Trust me - I know.
Henry Rollins
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
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
For the last 30-plus years, I have been doing one long, uninterrupted improv.
Henry Rollins
If you listen to the way I speak and watch the way I conduct myself - there's nothing about me that's rock n' roll. It's like, 'Hello, I'm in a rock n' roll band'. 'No, you're a narc.'
Henry Rollins
I have always maintained that Iggy Pop is the Heavyweight Champion of Rock & Roll.
Henry Rollins
How memories lie to us. How time coats the ordinary with gold. How it breaks the heart to go back and attempt to re-live them. How crushed we are when we discover that the gold was merely gold-plating thinly coated over lead, chalk and peeling paint.
Henry Rollins
I don't really think about the audience much. I think of myself. Let me dig myself out of that one.
Henry Rollins
It is very difficult to tell Americans that they can't do something.
Henry Rollins
Imagine someone so infatuated by a band that they have every different pressing of every album the band made. Most of the time, the only difference in the album is the matrix number or a different 'made in' notation on the back cover or label. This is enough to make some people extremely excited. Actually, much more than excited.
