As you do with any band you're in, you get to know everyone too well all too soon. When you're crammed into a small space, proximity leads to familiarity.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
With any advent in technology, any technological innovation, there is the good and the bad.
Henry Rollins
I am too far gone to be rehabilitated.
Henry Rollins
Don't go to summer camp. Bury your parents in the backyard and have the place to yourself.
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'm not in a position where I get to pick and choose roles. I usually go on auditions in long lines and embarrass myself in front of casting directors, and with a lump in my throat and my ears burning, I walk past reception and smirking actors as I go to the parking garage and go back on the highway.
Henry Rollins
Maybe I'm ego-tripping, but I don't find myself a particularly horrible person, so I don't think I need to hold back anything I think or feel.
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.
Henry Rollins
I used to sit on the roof of the apartment where Jim Morrison used to write his early lyrics
Henry Rollins
Literally thousands of lawsuits have been filed against the NFL by retired players, many of whom say that information on brain injury in football was withheld from them.
Henry Rollins
Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.
Henry Rollins
When I am in Africa, I realize I don't know much, have not seen much, and there's a lot to be done.
Henry Rollins
There're some places that are more difficult or dangerous to navigate and I wouldn't look forward to going back. Like I'd much rather go back to Afghanistan - which fascinates me - quicker than I'd go back to spend a week walking around Nairobi, Kenya, which is a great and easy way to get yourself killed.
Henry Rollins
In the city of Pyongyang, you don't have to look very far to see an image of the Great Leader, Kim Il Sung. They love the guy. He is responsible for the wonder that is North Korea.
Henry Rollins
If I could go to Kabul and not die, I would go back to Afghanistan as soon as I could. And, that was the most interesting place that I've been to.
Henry Rollins
After having read a lot of fiction, literature, whatever you want to call it, from Wolfe to Houellebecq, I think you have to have an understanding and insight of the human condition that is informed and motivated by a desire to immerse yourself in the human world and bring these stories to bear.
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
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
I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.
Henry Rollins
Human beings should not be reduced to a state to where they almost get into a fight over a small bar of soap.
Henry Rollins
No time for drug addiction, no time for smoke or booze. Too strong for a shortened life span, I've got no time to lose.
Henry Rollins
