More quotes by Henry Rollins
I was at the first Minor Threat show, and you could tell, 'This band is going to be the king of the town.' It was obvious. They were so good.
Henry Rollins
I don't really think about the audience much. I think of myself. Let me dig myself out of that one.
Henry Rollins
You are the untold story. You are the impassioned truth wanting to scream its existence, to be forever trapped by a strong hand clapped firmly over the mouth of my soul.
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 can die anytime I want. I wish I could do the same with life.
Henry Rollins
Each year, every city in the world that can should have a multiday festival. More people meeting each other, digging new types of music, new foods, new ideas. You want to stop having so many wars? This could be a step in the right direction.
Henry Rollins
Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
Henry Rollins
Capitalism does what it does and money doesn't belong to anybody. It just stays in someone's wallet for a while, then it goes somewhere else. It always goes somewhere and it is always about to go somewhere.
Henry Rollins
What goes best with a cup of coffee? Another cup.
Henry Rollins
The world’s a better place since I chose music. I like the physical aspect of it, the volume and the intensity of it. It’s loud and hard. I like all that because inside me I feel like screaming.
Henry Rollins
Travelling as extensively as I do... the take away for me has made me very humble and very sympathetic to other people's plight in the world and very desirous of being proactive in being part of a solution somehow and not part of a problem. It's made me very patient and very grateful for where I live.
Henry Rollins
To me, the real 'state of the union' is found in how Americans react to current events.
Henry Rollins
My acting range is incredibly limited and narrow, but I'm a good heavy. I'm a good authoritarian figure I don't know why. Can you be a cop? Sure. Can you be a Marine? Absolutely. Well, at least in a movie.
Henry Rollins
We're at peak oil, peak water, peak resources, and so either we figure it out and let science lead or we head down a very bad, dark trail to where a lot of people aren't going to make it.
Henry Rollins
If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.
Henry Rollins
For me, music was an age/time/place thing. One day I woke up and realized I was done. That was many years ago.
Henry Rollins
I have lived in public as a somewhat recognizable person since I was a teenager. Emails I answer end up posted on sites pictures of me and someone I just met, taken by a cellphone, literally number in the thousands and are easily accessed.
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
You have to realize there are other people, other economies, governments, cultures, religions, and destinies going on at the same time as yours. You have to widen the scope of your lens and start seeing more.
Henry Rollins
Most of the people who call me a sellout were 7 when I was down face-first in the punk trenches.
