More quotes by Henry Rollins

Image
I'm not exactly ambitious as much as I have a very good realization of what I am and what I am capable of.
Henry Rollins
Image
I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition. To be ecologically aware, productivity of many things would slow down at least for awhile. Stockholders don't want to hear about the saving of the whales or some stream in Kentucky. They want a return on their investment.
Henry Rollins
Image
One of the odd enjoyments in life is to be alone in a room full of people. To have them there as unknowing human filler in your wide shot.
Henry Rollins
Image
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.

The material you work with is that which you will come to resemble. That which you work against will always work against you, including yourself.

I don't mind bees and think we are all the better for having them around. I like the taste of honey.
Henry Rollins
Image
I'm usually busy - if you call me at the house, I get about four phone calls there a year - I'm usually running around the house with a pen in my mouth holding onto something, folding it, or doing something to it, and it's always a bad time.

Image
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.

Do you know why Albert Camus was so prolific? He wrote to keep from screaming.

The Bad Seeds are a band I will travel a great distance to see whenever possible.
Henry Rollins
Image
We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
Henry Rollins
Image
If you really want a true confrontation, you treat your opponent with respect.
Henry Rollins
Image
It's difficult for me to be around anyone for longer than an hour. Love, death, elation, sorrow, I just don't care all that much about any of it. I am at this point, more of an observer/journalist.
Henry Rollins
Image
I'm not in a position where I get to pick and choose roles. I usually go on auditions in long lines and embarrass myself in front of casting directors, and with a lump in my throat and my ears burning, I walk past reception and smirking actors as I go to the parking garage and go back on the highway.

I was raised in Washington, DC, very violent place. I grew up with violence. My introduction to music was violent. The years I've spent on tours, some of that was extremely violent.

While they flail about, you will remain calm in the knowledge that you possess strength from within.

I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.

I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts.

Castle Face Records, run by The Oh Sees main man, Johnny Dwyer is always worth checking in with.
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.
