Voting is completely important. People in America think democracy is a given. I think of it as an ecosystem, and what gets in the way of it is politicians and apathy.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
Nothing brings people together more, than mutual hatred.
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
That's where the economy is going. It went somewhere. Just not to America. And the money made? That went to the Cayman Islands and Switzerland. Not back here. Never to be taxed.
Henry Rollins
Every summer, around late July and into August, I find myself in Europe, performing at any festival that will have me.
Henry Rollins
The streets lie, the sidewalks lie, everything lies You can try and read it but you're gonna get it wrong...all wrong The summer evenings burn and melt and the nights glitter but you're gonna get it wrong And it's gonna sink its teeth into your flesh and pull you to the bottom.
Henry Rollins
I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition. To be ecologically aware, productivity of many things would slow down at least for awhile. Stockholders don't want to hear about the saving of the whales or some stream in Kentucky. They want a return on their investment.
Henry Rollins
I don't wish to be anything more or less than what I am. If this is how it is, then so be it.
Henry Rollins
The more I learn about Mr. Romney, the less there is to admire.
Henry Rollins
The easy solution isn't the solution, it's the problem.
Henry Rollins
I wasn't playing the music, the music was playing me... and once that went away, and I had the feeling I was playing music, I had to stop. The need to go onstage and get my brain flattened every night left me, and what I didn't wanna do is go onstage and perpetrate a fraud... You cannot fool an audience.
Henry Rollins
I have been listening to the Stooges' self-titled first album for well over half my life, and it remains one of the most exciting and essential records I have ever had the good fortune to come into contact with.
Henry Rollins
I try to get myself up and moving as early as possible. Optimum is to be on the treadmill while it is still dark outside.
Henry Rollins
I'd defend myself. But I don't go around shoving people around that's not me at all - that's for a cop. I'm not into that type of behavior at all.
Henry Rollins
Florida is a crazy place, and I have played some of the wildest shows of my life here.
Henry Rollins
August in sub-Saharan Los Angeles is one of the great and awful tests of one's endurance, sanity and stamina.
Henry Rollins
I don't really have any women in my life, actually those two - the women in my life are two married women who work at my office.
Henry Rollins
Hating someone is giving them too much, just leave them alone.
Henry Rollins
That's the only interaction I have with people, those talking shows. Most of the people in my phone book are artists, management, producers, engineers. I don't ever call people with, Hi! How are you? I say, How are you? Do you have that 16/30 ready? When do you want me to come into the studio? That's what I do.
Henry Rollins
You might as well enjoy the day - you never know when and how painfully it could all end.
Henry Rollins
I would like to become a better photographer. I'm working on that.
Henry Rollins
