Henry Rollins

“I think politicians get hamstrung by the nature of politics when the private sector can really do great things.”

“I have not the smarts or patience for political office.”

“When people hold you in high esteem, it's very delicate relationship. When they meet you they're putting all their chips up. It's make or break.”

“Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.”

“It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.”

“War is very sad and small life is pathetically fragile at times.”

“Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.”

“I just travel the world with my backpack and my cameras and a bunch of Clif bars.”

“As long as I tell the truth I feel that nobody can touch me.”

“But I have a good life. I enjoy what I do. I am married to work.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I take the work seriously, just not myself in it.”

“I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.”

“You don't have to twist my arm to work.”
