I wonder how Colin Powell sleeps at night. I would like to have a word with him because he lied. He lied. He lied to me. He lied to my face through the camera at the U.N.

I've never killed anybody... but I've definitely thought about it.

Image
As a young person, I was on the road playing music, so I was getting new environments shoved in my face whether I wanted them or not.

The more you own, the more it owns you.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention.

I'm terrified of motorcycles. I've been on one a couple of times. I did not like it.
Henry Rollins
Image
I have to do things for myself, and if those standards are set high, then it's up to me to pass or fail.
Henry Rollins
Image
All by yourself, unable to express the pain of your distress with your deeper inside. You alienate yourself and everybody else.

Americans should demand real news, more transparency and more truth.

I think I am the most impressed with writing styles that defy category, like Kharms or Selby, Breton or Jarry, where you become as interested in the writer as much as the writing itself. It's all these things that make reading so appealing to me.

Mr. Christ, I read you as an infinitely patient entity who, as they say, often works in mysterious ways, a rebel unafraid to take the tougher, less traveled paths. Seems to me you're playing the long game. Is that why more states are coming out in favor of marriage equality? Is that why the Affordable Care Act is now with us?

Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul.

When Black Flag and DOA and all those bands were touring in the early 80s, it was kind of a forest and you just kind of got your way through it. Now it's like a six lane highway with Starbucks every twenty meters. That's just civilization.

I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of view.
Henry Rollins
Image
I wasn't playing the music, the music was playing me... and once that went away, and I had the feeling I was playing music, I had to stop. The need to go onstage and get my brain flattened every night left me, and what I didn't wanna do is go onstage and perpetrate a fraud... You cannot fool an audience.

I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.

I think more tolerance, more people having more access to a chance to be literate, and a chance to stay healthy makes for a more peaceful planet.

I want my fellow citizens to wise up and stop falling for [war]. I try with my limited access, I'm not getting into Kabul with a camera, they're not letting me get into Benghazi with a camera. I do what I can with my flimsy American passport and a visa. The photos are a bit more heavy from Southern Sudan and Haiti and Cuba.

If I think of the audience too much, then I'm going to start catering to them...and it turns into entertainment. And I've got time for entertainment I'm just not at all that interested in doing it myself. I'd rather go for some pretty raw expression.

The number of people who are actual supporters of Mr. Romney could very well be less than the Donner Party, whose members they sadly resemble in many ways.
