Do it or don't. It's amazing how many things in life are that easy.
Henry Rollins
Image
When people hold you in high esteem, it's very delicate relationship. When they meet you they're putting all their chips up. It's make or break.
Henry Rollins
Image
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.

Creativity requires a lot of pass/fail/start again and it is often hard on the psyche.
Henry Rollins
Image
Youth is fleeting and life is short, you might as well strike hard. Anything else is just average.

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.

Nothing moves me more than the history of the United States.

Image
I know that collector types can be a pain in the neck and seem perpetually frozen in time - or at least in their parents' basement - but someone has to look out for the past, lest it slip away forever.
Henry Rollins
Image
While I have no empirical evidence to back this up, I bet that the number of homosexual people per thousand has not fluctuated all that much over the centuries. I do not believe the dented wisdom my father used to extol, that homosexuality was a sure sign of a civilization in decline.

I am an employment hyena. I am happy to make a meal of what the lions leave behind.
Henry Rollins
Image
When I am in Africa, I realize I don't know much, have not seen much, and there's a lot to be done.
Henry Rollins
Image
I think the U.K. is an amazing place and has been extremely good to me. Some of my favorite and most-listened-to bands are from England. I have met many good people there and have been in front of some of the most loyal audiences I have ever encountered.

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.

Image
The Bad Seeds are a band I will travel a great distance to see whenever possible.

The easy solution isn't the solution, it's the problem.

I think it is incumbent on anyone who can to lift human dignity to the highest possible levels, maintaining one's own and helping to raise that of others.
