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.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
When I'm off the road, and I can really control my diet down to the calorie, I juice seven days a week. Every afternoon, whatever I have at hand, beets, carrots, ginger, whatever. I juice, literally, every single day. And on the road, I try to find fresh juice wherever I can.
Henry Rollins
In the worst of times the best among us never lose their moral compass, and that is how they emerge relatively unscathed.
Henry Rollins
Always knowing you're going to die And until then knowing you've got to live.
Henry Rollins
One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.
Henry Rollins
Could it be that violence is as much a part of the American identity as the Constitution, and a vital component to its economic stability?
Henry Rollins
You have to get away from them. You have to get as far away as you can otherwise they'll kill you with their lives. They don't know what they do. They are careless with themselves and they take too much for granted. They make their shortcomings your problem. The only way to keep your head above it and heal your wounds is to crawl away.
Henry Rollins
Now and then, someone is able to look at an empty space, conclude it would be a great place to start a revolution, and bravely go forward.
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
I think that America certainly has racism, I think that any industrialized country does. But when you see how many million fans Barack Obama has who are not black, it would lead one to the conclusion that millions of Americans are in fact not burdened by the albatross of racism.
Henry Rollins
In my many trips to South Africa, I have met and spoken to a lot of people there, and they all seem to find apartheid as repellent as you would.
Henry Rollins
When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive.
Henry Rollins
I have no pride about anything I have done. It's just not the way I think about things. I do the work, always, as hard as I can, to the point of pain, injury, exhaustion, if that is what it takes. Once I am done, I move on.
Henry Rollins
Death metal uses a lot of white face paint and black hair dye to make its point. I quite enjoy this genre for its intensity, extremism and underlying irony: You have to be alive to play it and listen to it.
Henry Rollins
I'd like to talk to Sean Hannity in a controlled environment and say, 'O.K., you can't interrupt and jump up and down like a professional wrestler.'
Henry Rollins
I'd like to rid myself of writing, to surrender, to release the venom. And hopefully at some point, I'll be a happy, well-adjusted guy and I'll have no need for all that 'art.'
Henry Rollins
I know that collector types can be a pain in the neck and seem perpetually frozen in time - or at least in their parents' basement - but someone has to look out for the past, lest it slip away forever.
Henry Rollins
I don't want to fail the audience. I don't want to let them down.
Henry Rollins
Life is death in slow motion.
Henry Rollins
It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.
Henry Rollins
I want to learn more about the world. It makes me want to get up and go.
Henry Rollins
