I'd like to rid myself of writing, to surrender, to release the venom. And hopefully at some point, I'll be a happy, well-adjusted guy and I'll have no need for all that 'art.'

More quotes by Henry Rollins
I don't hate the government. I don't think the Second Amendment is being infringed upon.
Henry Rollins
Having an identity is one thing. Being born into an identity is quite a different matter.
Henry Rollins
My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don't like it, don't condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from.
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
I think marriage is a boring and fault-ridden contractual obligation.
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
Don't go to summer camp. Bury your parents in the backyard and have the place to yourself.
Henry Rollins
You have to get away from them. You have to get as far away as you can otherwise they'll kill you with their lives. They don't know what they do. They are careless with themselves and they take too much for granted. They make their shortcomings your problem. The only way to keep your head above it and heal your wounds is to crawl away.
Henry Rollins
When I write lyrics, it's only when I'm angry or hurt or sad. So lyrically it's never really easy going. And the music is always really intense.
Henry Rollins
I've never killed anybody... but I've definitely thought about it.
Henry Rollins
Florida is a crazy place, and I have played some of the wildest shows of my life here.
Henry Rollins
Juan Williams is a very sharp guy.
Henry Rollins
Texas is as odd as it is vast.
Henry Rollins
You could split hairs and bring up words like 'doo-wop' and terms like 'soul' or 'R&B', but I think pop music is what you want it to be - that's why it's pop.
Henry Rollins
Horror jolts me when I look at one of you and see a pair of beautiful eyes that make me think your mind might contain a world that could hold me as the bolts shake loose and fly from my frame.
Henry Rollins
As a young person growing up in Washington, D.C., summers were hot, humid and relentless. My friends and I grew more restless and adventurous with every passing year.
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
Kids need parents who love and support them unconditionally, full stop.
Henry Rollins
I just work, to the exclusion of most other things. I rarely work in a frenzied manner, just kind of - if you take the beater that whips the icing or the eggs into shape - on the upper end of medium speed, that's kind of how I am about seven days a week.
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.
