More quotes by Henry Rollins
There's no rule that you have to like Henry Rollins the musician or the actor.
Henry Rollins
I just work, to the exclusion of most other things. I rarely work in a frenzied manner, just kind of - if you take the beater that whips the icing or the eggs into shape - on the upper end of medium speed, that's kind of how I am about seven days a week.
Henry Rollins
I have been listening to the Stooges' self-titled first album for well over half my life, and it remains one of the most exciting and essential records I have ever had the good fortune to come into contact with.
Henry Rollins
I think Americans really need to start thinking globally. As resources become more dear, we will be pulled closer to the rest of the world anyway.
Henry Rollins
I will do my best to dodge tonight's depression Hide in sleep Damage myself in dreams Wake up older, slightly more used.
Henry Rollins
I think marriage is a boring and fault-ridden contractual obligation.
Henry Rollins
I like the idea of someone else’s love safely sealed in a song or a book.
Henry Rollins
If you listen to the way I speak and watch the way I conduct myself - there's nothing about me that's rock n' roll. It's like, 'Hello, I'm in a rock n' roll band'. 'No, you're a narc.'
Henry Rollins
America's foreign policy lacks the backbone to do the right thing in Afghanistan - which is leave.
Henry Rollins
I like it better that people aren't throwing stuff at my face and trying to fight me on stage. Like in the '80s, it was just aggravating all the time... I have scars from cigars and cigarettes on me, Bic pens, burns from cigarette lighters, all that.
Henry Rollins
Don't push me I've got a corner at my back I've nowhere to go except over you.
Henry Rollins
Here in this moment we are beautiful, nocturnal creatures and our thoughts and words are jewels guarded by the moon.
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
I'm a liar. I'll rip your mind up. I'll burn your soul, I'll turn you in to me.
Henry Rollins
Michele Bachmann is always a great person to go to for an opinion about anything. She has a very active and interesting mind.
Henry Rollins
He said that hate makes the world go round People are afraid of what they really want They make enemies of all the things that they would like to be They condition themselves to not embrace what they are Love is a clinging nausea I tried to disagree with him It was no use I never saw a more honest look in anyone's eyes.
Henry Rollins
Don't let despair mutate your flesh Look at my twisted stumps of thought See the fingers, listen to the voice I am slowly becoming the end of the line.
Henry Rollins
The opportunity to write for the 'L.A. Weekly' has been one of the better breaks that has come my way in a long time.
Henry Rollins
I've always seen it as the role of an artist to drag his inside out, give the audience all you've got. Writers, actors, singers, all good artists do the same. It isn't supposed to be easy.
Henry Rollins
Amy Winehouse was not a person I ever met, and I can't say that I am overly conversant in all of her music. I do have her albums, and years ago, when I first heard her sing, I thought she was extraordinary. The tone of her voice, her phrasing, her raw appearance - these qualities were extremely captivating to me.
