More quotes by Henry Rollins
Girls aren't beautiful, they're pretty. Beautiful is too heavy a word to assign to a girl. Women are beautiful because their faces show that they know they have lost something and picked up something else.
Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins
I take the work seriously, just not myself in it.
Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins
When you have to work with and exist amongst cynical, burned-out personnel on a set, it doesn't matter what you're shooting or how much you're being paid - it's not worth it.
Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins
Creativity requires a lot of pass/fail/start again and it is often hard on the psyche.
Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins
I have no desire to write anything for screen. That's a great talent.
Henry Rollins
I wouldn't want to roll the dice on Kabul by myself, because I really think getting killed is definitely a possibility there. A very good possibility.
Henry Rollins
I'm usually busy - if you call me at the house, I get about four phone calls there a year - I'm usually running around the house with a pen in my mouth holding onto something, folding it, or doing something to it, and it's always a bad time.
Henry Rollins
