More quotes by Henry Rollins
If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.
Henry Rollins
My first introduction to African music was by my mother, who bought the 'Pata Pata' album by the great Miriam Makeba when it came out. Now that is an album. What a voice.
Henry Rollins
Some music really does suck!
Henry Rollins
The talking shows are like free jazz. I'm just gonna go out there and blow with the idea of keeping it streamlined and not wasting time. It's wild. And it's a great thing when you see a performer really able to.
Henry Rollins
To me, the real 'state of the union' is found in how Americans react to current events.
Henry Rollins
We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
Henry Rollins
Airports in major cities, like LAX, are trippy environments. It is at once a national and international gathering of those in transition: The euphoric, emerging from planes, their journey at an end, and the determined, about to depart.
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
For myself, I can't understand a life without a job. I don't know what I would do without employment. Retirement is out of the question for me.
Henry Rollins
I believe in North, South, East, West, The seasons, life and death, geography. That which is provable, absolute and most of all, functional. I believe in things that can kill me.
Henry Rollins
I just want to be able to stand up straight for a little while before I get cut down.
Henry Rollins
Let's pretend my career in music is a bell. Whether you like my music or not is up to you. But you've got to admit I rang that bell pretty hard and pretty often.
Henry Rollins
If a slave were to raise his voice to his master, he risked all manner of punishment. Yet what was possible in many circumstances was to lift one's voice in song. This was a major ingredient in what is now known as blues and gospel. Slaves may have been regarded as subhuman by their cruel captors, but through music, they were proud and dignified.
Henry Rollins
I think to write fiction, this is just how I see it, you have to have a powerful need/desire to connect. I can't. Wanting to and not being able to has lead to a lot of misery in my life.
Henry Rollins
The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found.
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
When people hold you in high esteem, it's very delicate relationship. When they meet you they're putting all their chips up. It's make or break.
Henry Rollins
I think it's very sad that the political landscape is so dotted with religious extremists who feel the need to infringe upon the lives of decent, free and harmless Americans who want nothing more than to be in love and to spend the rest of their lives together.
Henry Rollins
In the late summer of 1986, the band I had been in for five years stopped playing. Suddenly, I was on my own. This new state of bandlessness was, at first, traumatic. When your group breaks up, a lot of broken parts hit the ground.
Henry Rollins
I remain hopeful that science, innovation and kindness will come to the fore as things become more and more tense in parts of the world. I think what you are seeing in the world right now is kind of a leveling or an attempt to level the playing field.
Henry Rollins
