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
I used to sit on the roof of the apartment where Jim Morrison used to write his early lyrics
Henry Rollins
I do a lot of stuff for free anyway. Like a lot of people who you see who don't need money. Mick Jagger - he needs money? He just likes to go sing Satisfaction every night. If I wrote that song I probably would do it too.
Henry Rollins
I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.
Henry Rollins
Creativity requires a lot of pass/fail/start again and it is often hard on the psyche.
Henry Rollins
The only thing about sanctions is that, like a lot of drone strikes, there are countless unintended victims. Cutting off aid to Uganda only increases the pain there.
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
I like the idea of going out with a woman and not doing anything, and just eating dinner and talking, and that's cool, too. So, someone might look at me and say, No way, man. He's just banging strippers. And I do that, but not all the time.
Henry Rollins
If I had to live my life in anticipation of what others thought of me, little would get done.
Henry Rollins
Certainly, there are huge, multiplatinum bands whose singers command their audience's attention. Sadly, much of the time they have little to say.
Henry Rollins
I want to learn more about the world. It makes me want to get up and go.
Henry Rollins
Trying to write music, be in a band and keep it all happening is one of the hardest, morale-destroying, heartbreaking things you will ever try to do - and that's when it's going well.
Henry Rollins
If you really want a true confrontation, you treat your opponent with respect.
Henry Rollins
You can still function as a living ruin.
Henry Rollins
Anywhere you hang yourself is home.
Henry Rollins
Every single record I have is a fossil.
Henry Rollins
If you paid Americans a living wage, they would be able to pay for products made by Americans in America.
Henry Rollins
Human beings should not be reduced to a state to where they almost get into a fight over a small bar of soap.
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
Hopefully, one enhances [when growing older] his sense of humor. As he approaches 50, he'll need all the humor he can get.
Henry Rollins
Having an identity is one thing. Being born into an identity is quite a different matter.
Henry Rollins
