More quotes by Henry Rollins
Do it or don't. It's amazing how many things in life are that easy.
Henry Rollins
I don't need to have my convictions confirmed by a show of numbers. However, being among people in front of a band leads me to believe that all is not lost, that humans, now and then, can communicate on a higher level than the political and the practical.
Henry Rollins
Motivation has always been a fascinating factor when considering a touring artist, especially when the years stack up. What keeps one out there year after year?
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
I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to tour with the Beastie Boys and watched almost every set they played on all those dates. Why not? You do your set and then you get to see the Beasties play? Best deal in town.
Henry Rollins
The Bad Seeds are a band I will travel a great distance to see whenever possible.
Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins
Maybe some things are better left broken and scattered Veiled in darkness, secret bitterness and self-doubt I should have known better Than to start something that I couldn't finish That I couldn't care about That I couldn't remember starting in the first place I don't want to know you You went years without me You might as well keep going.
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
Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
Henry Rollins
One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.
Henry Rollins
When you're little and you don't have much dough, you have to innovate. You have to be sharp.
Henry Rollins
I don't really write for fun it's not an enjoyable experience. For me, art, or whatever the hell it is I do, has always been a refuge from that which makes me want to tear my lungs out. That's why I play like I play I'm not into entertainment.
Henry Rollins
The scarcity of the music not only makes the music itself enjoyable but it also gives the collector a strange sense of superiority.
Henry Rollins
I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.
Henry Rollins
I've been in Iraq, and it never occurred to me to go, 'Hey, this war is bogus,' to some guy who's 24 hours a day trying not to get shot at or blown up.
Henry Rollins
In my bright, utopian future world, they will hand out college educations like cups of water at the end of the L.A. Marathon.
Henry Rollins
Citizens United didn't work. Hey, Koch brothers, Karl Rove, Shellgame Adelson: Democracy trumps money sometimes.
Henry Rollins
Basically, men are afraid of women and can’t handle the fact that they came out of the same thing they spend the rest of their lives trying to get back into.
Henry Rollins
Well, there's Katrina, but you can go through lots of Kurdistan and it looks like Katrina was just there but there's people living in it.
