More From Henry Rollins

You make new year's resolutions. and you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. then you don't keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed. you aren't weak-willed, you are simply obeying yourself as of yesterday.

Infinite altruism is the basis of peace and happiness. if you want altruism, you must control hate and you must practice patience. the main teachers of patience are our enemies.

If i'm ever working on a set and anyone talks about a master shot, i say there is no master shot. before i even went to film school, i learned about movies by being in a british feature film, where everything was shot master shot, mid-shot, close-up. but i reject the idea of a master shot. you don't shoot everything mechanically; you find imaginative ways that serve the action.

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

This is a devastating problem, is, the longer our children are in school, the worse they do. year after year after year, our children in america are falling further behind. our 3- and 4-year-olds enter kindergarten ok, and they fall further and further behind. each year, children in other countries are learning more than children in this country. and so the gap between american student performance in singapore and finland and south korea and canada and these other countries, the gap widens year after year after year.

Sometimes we know the best thing to do, but fail to do it. new year's resolutions are often like that. we make resolutions because we know it would be better for us to lose weight, or get fit, or spend more time with our children. the problem is that a resolution is generally easier to break than it is to keep.

I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the new year. you can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.
