The scarcity of the music not...

The scarcity of the music not only makes the music itself enjoyable but it also gives the collector a strange sense of superiority.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Miles Davis would have this l...

Miles Davis would have this lineup of all these amazing musicians and one day would just say, 'We're done.' After tons of great records and tickets sold, he said, 'Now I'm going to grow my hair out and play my horn through a wah-wah pedal.' Rather than play it safe, he went on.

I'm most in my element on tour, with a gig that day, like today. I'm on the road where I am supposed to be. I will be where I'm supposed to be at nighttime, on stage, in front of people, doing my thing.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

This is my 25th year of being on stage. A lot of people who I kind of toed up to the starting line with are no longer in this position. I feel very, very lucky.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.

If you listen to 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,' by Gil Scott-Heron, that album is dripping with rage.

This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

So, one way or another, I fou...

So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I forged myself out of a vacuum. I crawl along the highway on hacked off stumps year after year. Some wonder how and why. I never do.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

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.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Maybe I'm ego-tripping, but I don't find myself a particularly horrible person, so I don't think I need to hold back anything I think or feel.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I'm not exactly ambitious as ...

I'm not exactly ambitious as much as I have a very good realization of what I am and what I am capable of.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

It's easy for me to play bad ...

It's easy for me to play bad guys because it's a very linear acting. Bad guys aren't empathetic. Being a bad guy is great because you're not friendly and you don't have to do much with your face.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I'm not in a position where I...

I'm not in a position where I get to pick and choose roles. I usually go on auditions in long lines and embarrass myself in front of casting directors, and with a lump in my throat and my ears burning, I walk past reception and smirking actors as I go to the parking garage and go back on the highway.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I try to be well informed. I ...

I try to be well informed. I don't know how well I do all the time, but I try nonetheless.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

We're at peak oil, peak water...

We're at peak oil, peak water, peak resources, and so either we figure it out and let science lead or we head down a very bad, dark trail to where a lot of people aren't going to make it.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

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 946 quotes

I think the U.K. is an amazin...

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.

Musicians should not play music. Music should play musicians.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

When you're holding people's ...

When you're holding people's attention, I feel you must give them high-quality ingredients. They deserve nothing but your best. And if they need information, get it, cross-check it, and try to be right. Do not waste their time; do not enjoy the ego trip of being onstage.
