More quotes by Henry Rollins
I always start tours with a great deal of anticipation.
Henry Rollins
Humans will take a rain forest and lose it and cover it with concrete. They will take the woods and turn it into a parking garage and I am not saying that's bad. I am just saying that's what we do. We occupy the planet with a vengeance. We seek to dominate it.
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
Now you see how you are, the wisdom mixed in with all the scars.
Henry Rollins
Contemporary bands often will do tour-only releases pressed and sold only in Australia. Crikey!
Henry Rollins
Adolescence is a plague on the senses.
Henry Rollins
A text conversation is a short exchange of often grossly truncated language that corresponds to a thought made all the more shallow by the process.
Henry Rollins
I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.
Henry Rollins
Republicans just can't help themselves. They get in front of a live microphone and within a few sentences are rocketing down the swiftest and most direct route to the all-you-can-eat comedian-and-talk-show-host buffet.
Henry Rollins
Love beyond the damage.
Henry Rollins
To me, the real 'state of the union' is found in how Americans react to current events.
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
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 the Iron doesn't want to come off the mat, it's the kindest thing it can do for you. If it flew up and went through the ceiling, it wouldn't teach you anything.
Henry Rollins
If I had to perform in a comedy club I would bomb I would be trying too hard.
Henry Rollins
There is no heaven for me and no hell. And certainly not any Karma.
Henry Rollins
It is instilled in thousands of American males from an early age that one of their requirements is to be able to both dish out and take a lot of pain. They are taught the rules of this road in gyms, rings, backyards and fields all over America.
Henry Rollins
'SMiLE' is perhaps the Beach Boys' most legendary album. It was recorded in 1966 and 1967 but only saw a formal release in 2011. That's a long time to wait for what was said to be Brian Wilson's masterpiece.
Henry Rollins
I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities.
Henry Rollins
Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind.
Henry Rollins
