I don't want to play old music...

I don't want to play old music. To me, it is fighting battles that are already over and calling yourself a warrior. For me, I see no courage or adventure in doing the old thing over again. If others want to, that's for them. For myself, I have to move on. Life is too short to live in the past. There is a lot to be done.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I think that one of the hardes...

I think that one of the hardest things in the world to be is a black male. I mean everyone hates your guts. White men are afraid of you. White women are afraid of you. The cops hate you. The government wants you dead. Your own people want to shoot you for what you got. You just can't get over it. And even if you are able to get over it you're forced to do it on the white guy's terms.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I don't get a rush from anythi...

I don't get a rush from anything. I did music as hard as I could. Acting for me at least, is a far more restrained performance than music. It requires a lot of skill and discipline. I'm not any good at it but I enjoy trying to be good at it.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

There is no heaven for me and ...

There is no heaven for me and no hell. And certainly not any Karma.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Capitalism does what it does a...

Capitalism does what it does and money doesn't belong to anybody. It just stays in someone's wallet for a while, then it goes somewhere else. It always goes somewhere and it is always about to go somewhere.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I live my life through the pri...

I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities. In all of that, there is no spirituality required. No God and karma is needed for the numbers. I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I have no pride about anything...

I have no pride about anything I have done. It's just not the way I think about things. I do the work, always, as hard as I can, to the point of pain, injury, exhaustion, if that is what it takes. Once I am done, I move on.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I can't imagine being sixty ye...

I can't imagine being sixty years of age and playing music I wrote when I was in my twenties. I would rather sail the sea of consequence to new lands. Laps around the shallow end of the pool, not for me.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I've never killed anybody... b...

I've never killed anybody... but I've definitely thought about it.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

There is a concerted effort to...

There is a concerted effort to keep you and me, you know, the people, away from what it [war]really looks like, 'cause when you're selling war, when it's such a big industry. What they don't tell you is the rest of it and the down side of it. And so obviously there is a lot of money and a lot of time and effort being spent on that campaign 'perpetual war for perpetual peace'.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

I want my fellow citizens to w...

I want my fellow citizens to wise up and stop falling for [war]. I try with my limited access, I'm not getting into Kabul with a camera, they're not letting me get into Benghazi with a camera. I do what I can with my flimsy American passport and a visa. The photos are a bit more heavy from Southern Sudan and Haiti and Cuba.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Nietzsche, who you don't spend...

Nietzsche, who you don't spend too much time with after the age of seventeen, did have that one great line about 'he who stares into the abyss must know that the abyss also stares into him' and I never really understood that until my friend got killed and you really get your head around the idea of what horror means. It's a truly awful thing, to really, kind of have that understanding of things and when you really peer into that.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

There's a lot of stuff like th...

There's a lot of stuff like that that American's don't know and since a lot of Americans don't have a passport, I'll get a passport for them and since a lot of Americans don't know what a war looks like thirty, forty years laterand it's still doing damage.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Americans are poorly served by...

Americans are poorly served by their media, you know, for the war machine and propaganda machine and the global empire and they're poorly served by what they are being told is representative government.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

We Americans look funny when we're in France because we don't travel, we are fairly un-cultured whereas Europeans go to Africa all the time because it's right there.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

We're just very belligerent, and I'm not trying to put Americans down, by and large I think we're nice people, but we operate with the information we're given and we are limited by the ignorance that is kind of injected into the media and into the TV shows.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Girls aren't beautiful, they'r...

Girls aren't beautiful, they're pretty. Beautiful is too heavy a word to assign to a girl. Women are beautiful because their faces show that they know they have lost something and picked up something else.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

While they flail about, you wi...

While they flail about, you will remain calm in the knowledge that you possess strength from within.

Henry Rollins 946 quotes

Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul.

Knowledge without mileage equals bullshit.
