Henry Rollins ,quotes

Every year, August lashes out ...

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.

I'm 36 and if I met a woman of...

I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

This is my 25th year of being ...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I just get things done instead...

I just get things done instead of talking about getting them done. I don't go out and party. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs and I'm not married, that leaves a lot of time for my work.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I get angry about stuff, I get...

I get angry about stuff, I get very emotionally intense about stuff and that's how I get it out - with books, with the band, on my own onstage, but it's always kind of a wail.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I have never experienced anyth...

I have never experienced anything like walking out onto the stage of an oversold venue and, before the first note is struck, realizing that there is not going to be enough oxygen for all of us.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I'm most in my element on tour...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I believe in North, South, Eas...

I believe in North, South, East, West, The seasons, life and death, geography. That which is provable, absolute and most of all, functional. I believe in things that can kill me.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

If I lose the light of the sun...

If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I would never be innovative en...

I would never be innovative enough to 'blaze my own trail,' I'm just trying to be interesting. So I don't look to anyone else as far as inspiration.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

Desperation is the secret to m...

Desperation is the secret to my steady employment. I am not interested in downtime. I really like to keep working all the time and I always feel like I'm in the mail room of life; working up.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I'm always looking, people are...

I'm always looking, people are always presenting and I have found that every year of my life there's been great bands. All over the world, all the time. So when someone goes, 'Music sucks now!' I'll go, 'I don't think so. Not over at my house.'

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

When Black Flag and DOA and al...

When Black Flag and DOA and all those bands were touring in the early 80s, it was kind of a forest and you just kind of got your way through it. Now it's like a six lane highway with Starbucks every twenty meters. That's just civilization.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

If you really want to rebel ag...

If you really want to rebel against your parents: outearn them, outlive them, and know more than they do.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

The streets lie, the sidewalks...

The streets lie, the sidewalks lie, everything lies
You can try and read it but you're gonna get it wrong...all wrong
The summer evenings burn and melt and the nights glitter but you're gonna get it wrong
And it's gonna sink its teeth into your flesh and pull you to the bottom.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

its no surprise to me that anyone hardly tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel so strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

Half of life is up - the other...

Half of life is up - the other half is dealing with it.

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I'm always looking upwards and...

I'm always looking upwards and looking forwards and so when someone says, 'Hey, would you consider a TV show?' I say, 'Hell yeah, I'll consider that. I'll check that out.'

Henry Rollins 03.03.2018 03:03:03 946 quotes

I don't get a lot of choices in movies. It's not like I'm Brad Pitt and I can walk in and go 'here's the film I want to do' and everyone runs around. I don't have that. I stand in line and do auditions. I'm there with 80 other guys trying to be that guy. Every once in awhile I luck out.
