People are strange. We’re all morticians. Hey, what’s on TV?  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) People tell me all the time that I look forbidding or aloof. That doesn’t bother me much - I am fairly private, withdrawn, and... distant, I guess. But, um, I think that’s okay  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) They’re caught where there’s no way out or where you can’t see out. What are you going to do about it? I don’t have the answer. If I did there would be no insane asylums.  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) There are a lot of bands that have a huge appeal, but I don’t understand why. Guns n’ Roses. U2. But you know, that’s just my thing. Music is pretty personal.  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) I don’t think I’m an entertainer. I never think, ‘Wow, I can’t wait to get the crowd moving.’ Some of my favorite bands never moved an inch.  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) I could never be a country person, sitting around trees trying to write a song. I would rather be in the middle of society, whether it’s growing or crumbling.  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) As a songwriter, oddly enough, my influences were people like Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, and Buddy Holly. Some psychedelic stuff, too.  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) The most important thing to a lot of people, is to belong to something that’s hip or whatever. To be a part of something that’s not society, just a clique.  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) I’ve been in a band, so I understand the politics. Sometimes the bass player doesn’t like what the guitar player is doing, and you have to sort of even that out.  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) I’ve always been a fan of poetry. I grew up with Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the Beat poets. I really followed that stuff for a while. I just love the way people threw words around like they were painting  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) If you want to talk about it, I got the time When you’re looking so enchanted, you cover my mind If you think I’ll wait forever, maybe you’re right There’s no such thing as now or never, there’s only twilight  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) If I would have been in a different world Like I frequently am when I see you Oh I might have missed All the ways you try to give If only you knew what you do to me Sometimes I think about eternity If it would have been another time I wonder what you would of had in mind  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) Sometimes you want to run away Sometimes you think you do But you never had a dream like this before And you don’t want to ask for more Sometimes you leave a mark Before you know the score  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) The creative part for me is making songs, and that’s what I really love the most, and that’s what I’ve always done for every band I’ve ever had  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) Secrecy is the enemy of efficiency, but don’t let anyone know it  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) When you become tired of fitting in, is when you truly become yourself  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) There’s more to light than the opposite of dark  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) Never mind a world that can’t see past brutality  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) I love walking down the street and seeing faces and drama and happiness and sadness and dirt and cleanliness  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) Oh oh it’s magic, when I’m with you, oh oh it’s magic, you know it’s true, got a hold on you  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) Your high points and your low points. High points don’t last that long, it’s a high and it happens. It’s great at the moment but you really can’t live on it  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) They’re caught where there’s no way out or where you can’t see out. What are you going to do about it? I don’t have the answer. If I did there would be no insane asylums. But I see a lot of people, a lot of my friends in the same predicament. Many times in my life, I was there myself  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) The most important thing to a lot of people, is to belong to something that’s hip or whatever. To be a part of something that’s not society, just a clique. And they get real sidetracked trying to think like everyone else. They don’t realize that you have to motivate yourself to do things you want to do. Some people just like going along for the ride. And those are the kind of people I don’t get along with too well  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone the chance to be helpful  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) Once they’re on paper, they’re gone. I like to do as much with the words, as far as image goes  (Ric Ocasek Quotes) I could never be a country person, sitting around trees trying to write a song. I would rather be in the middle of society, whether it’s growing or crumbling  (Ric Ocasek Quotes)
