More quotes by Henry Rollins
The only difference between me and others is that they think they can change something with cute little poems, nice cards or embracing trees and being nice to little lapdogs.
Henry Rollins
If it were a choice between me getting killed or one of my friend's kids, I would happily take the shot.
Henry Rollins
Travelling as extensively as I do... the take away for me has made me very humble and very sympathetic to other people's plight in the world and very desirous of being proactive in being part of a solution somehow and not part of a problem. It's made me very patient and very grateful for where I live.
Henry Rollins
I once asked Ozzy Osbourne, truly one of my favorite people in the world, if he was cool with singing Black Sabbath songs year after year, whether he was performing with Black Sabbath or out on a solo tour. He said it was great.
Henry Rollins
Sleep is for squares.
Henry Rollins
For myself, I can't understand a life without a job. I don't know what I would do without employment. Retirement is out of the question for me.
Henry Rollins
From those who agonize that they may no longer be able to write off their private jet to someone who doesn't feel like making the three mile hike to the well to get water and carry it back, everyone struggles.
Henry Rollins
Chris Christie is New Jersey's concern, not America's.
Henry Rollins
I don't want to play old music. To me, it is fighting battles that are already over and calling yourself a warrior. For me, I see no courage or adventure in doing the old thing over again. If others want to, that's for them. For myself, I have to move on. Life is too short to live in the past. There is a lot to be done.
Henry Rollins
I am primarily a loner. I don't go to clubs. I don't hang out with people. I don't know many people. It's just the way it ended up. It's not a sob story it's fine for me.
Henry Rollins
If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.
Henry Rollins
Every year, August lashes out in volcanic fury, rising with the din of morning traffic, its great metallic wings smashing against the ground, heating the air with ever-increasing intensity.
Henry Rollins
For me, music was an age/time/place thing. One day I woke up and realized I was done. That was many years ago.
Henry Rollins
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.
Henry Rollins
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
Henry Rollins
If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.
Henry Rollins
Songs sung under duress are often very powerful.
Henry Rollins
I'm not a thrill seeker. I'm not looking to get kidnapped. I'm not looking to get a shot at. I've been shot at. I didn't like it.
Henry Rollins
My love runs deeper than the wounds.
Henry Rollins
Every summer, around late July and into August, I find myself in Europe, performing at any festival that will have me.
