numbers life-and-death body
Spending time in Calcutta [India] really did a number on me. The way life and death are almost the same thing, the way poverty is dealt with, the sheer number of dead bodies you see, it's all pretty overwhelming.
musician actors
There's no rule that you have to like Henry Rollins the musician or the actor.
way actors found
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.
skills ideas impact
Most poets are elitist dregs more concerned with proving their skill with a dictionary than communicating ideas with impact.
ducks america long
'Duck Dynasty' is a ridiculous show, and long may it wave. America and democracy will endure. They've seen a lot worse.
cds information
Technically speaking, there is no music whatsoever on a CD. Lots of information, but no music.
library united-states states
The public library system of the United States is worth preserving.
thinking world needs
I think Americans really need to start thinking globally. As resources become more dear, we will be pulled closer to the rest of the world anyway.
romantic song hopeless
Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.
records fossils
Every single record I have is a fossil.
hard-work writing complaining
Youths write me and tell me that their band will go nowhere because of all the bad bands in the world. I tell them there has always been awful music and that no great band ever wasted any time complaining, they just got it done. Their ropey ranting is just a way to get out of the hard work of making music that will do some lasting damage.
yelling ifs
You can't get your head around something if you're yelling.
thinking suffering world
I think Americans suffer for their lack of travel, awareness of the world. It has horribly warped our sense of place in the scheme of things.
language shallow conversation
A text conversation is a short exchange of often grossly truncated language that corresponds to a thought made all the more shallow by the process.
