What does New York sound like...

What does New York sound like? For me, the Charlie Parker at the Royal Roost recordings on the Savoy label are the total embodiment of the New York music experience.

Someone like Ashlee Simpson, ...

Someone like Ashlee Simpson, she lip-synchs on 'Saturday Night Live,' gets totally called out la Milli Vanilli, and no one really cares that much. It doesn't make me hate Ashlee; she's just taking instructions.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

The ecstatic insanity of roma...

The ecstatic insanity of romantic pursuit can be so enhanced by music that entire romantic conquests, victories and ruinous, crushing defeats can be tied to songs to such a degree that it's almost unbearable to listen to them again, as they bring back the memories so vividly.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

With age, life becomes comple...

With age, life becomes complex and difficult, often fraught with risk on several levels, from the practical to the fiscal.

Music to me is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.

For a long time, when I was very young, I went to go see arena rock bands. I was 16, and it was all I could get in to see, legally. And I saw Led Zeppelin and Ted Nugent and Van Halen and all that.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

To combat the confusion and depression that assault me when I come off the road in the middle of a tour, I seek the most oblivionated music possible. When it's the 'way out there' that I seek, I go right to my stash of amazing music from Japan.

I was at the first Minor Threat show, and you could tell, 'This band is going to be the king of the town.' It was obvious. They were so good.

I have been an XL fan of Devo since I was in high school in the 1970s. Their records only sound better with time.

In the summer of 1991, I was on the first Lollapalooza tour. Nightly, I would watch Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell go out in front of a sea of people and within minutes have all of them in the palm of his hand. I have never seen anything like it since.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Everything I do, writing, tou...

Everything I do, writing, touring, travelling, it all comes from the punk and hardcore attitude, from that expression - from being open to try things but relying on yourself, taking what you have into the battle and making of it what you will, hoping you can figure it out as you go. Make some sense of it.

Kids need parents who love and support them unconditionally, full stop.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I have come to the conclusion...

I have come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it's good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I hate painting with a broad brush, but I think the birther thing, at its root, is racist. The guy was born in Hawaii. A black guy is president. It's cool. Get over it. Just deal with it. There's nothing you could show these birther people that would shut them up.

If I hear, 'Be afraid of Tehran,' I'm like, 'I'd better go to Tehran.'

If I had to perform in a comedy club I would bomb; I would be trying too hard.

And I love the hate mail I get, the unsigned, misspelled letters I get telling me to go back to Russia or wherever.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I think a lot of Americans ha...

I think a lot of Americans have never been all that hungry. They've never had war on their shore, and they've never suffered the way other cultures have suffered. I'm not saying we should go suffer. Not at all. I'm saying we should be more aware of how other cultures exist.

I love being a storyteller. I love telling stories.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

When the movie comes out, what anybody thinks of it doesn't really matter to me. I don't go to the wrap party. I don't go to the premiere.
