Text Quotes
I don’t really have any women in my life, actually those two - the women in my life are two married women who work at my office  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I don’t consider myself an actor, for me it’s employment. Like the actor who’s a waiter a lot, I’m an actor when I’m not on tour, in that that’s a job I can do  (Henry Rollins Quotes) When you put yourself in environments that continually test you, that’s where all the good stories come from. That’s where the jokes come from is from the shitty parts  (Henry Rollins Quotes) There’s nothing funny about, ‘Yeah, I took a First Class plane ticket and I went to some designer beach and made out with a Laotian slave girl.’ Who cares?  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I’ve enjoyed, to a certain extent, any country I’ve been in, of course like Serbia and Croatia can be very restrictive and oppressive, and frustrating, but they’re still very beautiful  (Henry Rollins Quotes) 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  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I really like older writers, perhaps because they take me out of my element. I don’t have a great deal of interest in reading a fictionalized present as it’s pretty insane as it is  (Henry Rollins Quotes) With writing, there are multiple drafts. On stage, there is one take. I do a lot of preparation for shows, so, for the most part, what you hear me say is pretty much what I wanted to get at  (Henry Rollins Quotes) For me, speaking to anyone - on a stage, in an elevator - I am looking for impact and connection. The same goes for writing  (Henry Rollins Quotes) Most of the writers I like just intimidate and humble me but in that there’s a good deal of inspiration to be had as well  (Henry Rollins Quotes) When I write lyrics, it’s only when I’m angry or hurt or sad. So lyrically it’s never really easy going. And the music is always really intense  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I’d like to rid myself of writing, to surrender, to release the venom. And hopefully at some point, I’ll be a happy, well-adjusted guy and I’ll have no need for all that ‘art.’  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I listen to blues music a lot and that’s a good person feeling bad and celebrating that pain by releasing it in that kind of joyous fashion  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I don’t need music for the good times. I don’t have that kind of need. Music doesn’t serve me like that  (Henry Rollins Quotes) It’s hard to keep your backbone straight in America. It’s easy to turn into that which you hate, and to get smashed  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I continually remind myself to live by a code. It’s very important to me. I’ve got a bad temper  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I’m a recognizable person and some people feel the need for some reason to take me to task. You’re really messing with the wrong person on that one  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I don’t try to be angry to prove something. I wouldn’t try to intimidate you for any reason unless you were trying to intimidate me, and then I would show you that you can’t do that to me  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I’d defend myself. But I don’t go around shoving people around; that’s not me at all - that’s for a cop. I’m not into that type of behavior at all  (Henry Rollins Quotes) 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  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I enjoy helping. I like doing benefits and things like that, but don’t feel the need to be thanked or even meet the people I am doing the benefit for  (Henry Rollins Quotes) My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don’t like it, don’t condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I feel close to people like Jimi Hendrix because I connect with his music. Not the man but what he did  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I see violence in myself; I’ve done some pretty violent things in my lifetime and I’ve been around some pretty severe violence all the way up to homicide  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I think to write fiction you have to have a powerful need/desire to connect. I can’t. Wanting to and not being able to has lead to a lot of misery in my life  (Henry Rollins Quotes) I’m not trying to say I’m a big tough guy, I’m a typical American waist deep in this violent culture  (Henry Rollins Quotes) As you do with any band you’re in, you get to know everyone too well all too soon. When you’re crammed into a small space, proximity leads to familiarity  (Henry Rollins Quotes) America is a rough room and you don’t know what might come your way, so you have to be prepared for almost anything  (Henry Rollins Quotes) 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 Quotes) I have no artistic sensibilities. I wish I did. It is probably really cool. I have work habits and work ethic. For me, all the things I do are jobs  (Henry Rollins Quotes)
