If the Constitution was a movie, the Preamble would be the trailer, the First Amendment the establishing shot, the 13th the crowd pleaser and the 14th the ultimate hero scene.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.
Henry Rollins
I think in rural settings, people have a different appreciation for animals than might the city dweller. In parts of India where poisonous snake bite is common, people have a much different value system. I live in a city. I'm not thinking about wolves, lions, etc.
Henry Rollins
The opportunity to write for the 'L.A. Weekly' has been one of the better breaks that has come my way in a long time.
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
All I can do is just do stuff while I am alive and hopefully that track record will speak for itself.
Henry Rollins
My desires are foolish. The things I want are better kept to myself. The hand of silence is steady. The hard blade of silence is clean like night. The code is absolute. Silence is eternal and patient. Silence never makes a fool of itself like I have so many times.
Henry Rollins
I am a pretty crazy person, so it's best for me to be on my own most of the time.
Henry Rollins
I like boring black and white films with subtitles. I'm basically a drip.
Henry Rollins
I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool.
Henry Rollins
As a teen, I heard the second Velvet Underground album, 'White Light/White Heat,' and it was too much for my limited scope of appreciation. It was intense, but I didn't get it.
Henry Rollins
It is impossible, after a certain point, to go back to a previous way of life, a previous way of thinking.
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
What if Americans were all judged by the actions of the Bush administration and people did not know the truth? That America is full of people who are, at present, poorly represented and poorly catered to by the media.
Henry Rollins
I was happy to find out that when on tour, Dolly Parton doesn't use hotels but stays on her bus every night, to the point of having her buses shipped from Austria to Australia so she can tour the way she sees fit. I used one of her buses once - an honor.
Henry Rollins
I guess, topic to topic, you could consider me a left-leaning person.
Henry Rollins
What does New York sound like? For me, the Charlie Parker at the Royal Roost recordings on the Savoy label are the total embodiment of the New York music experience.
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
Just understand that the end began long ago We got here just in time Look All the squares in the sidewalks were already there All these strangers have more money than you do All the good riffs have been taken And everyone is so scared Murder is commonplace I don't even flinch at the gunshots outside my window I feel lonely without them
Henry Rollins
The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found.
Henry Rollins
Amy Winehouse was not a person I ever met, and I can't say that I am overly conversant in all of her music. I do have her albums, and years ago, when I first heard her sing, I thought she was extraordinary. The tone of her voice, her phrasing, her raw appearance - these qualities were extremely captivating to me.
