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 OcasekI love walking down the street and seeing faces and drama and happiness and sadness and dirt and cleanliness.
Ric OcasekI think bands, when they're on the road, they keep their sanity by developing an internal sense of humor.
Ric OcasekYour 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 OcasekI'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. But I've also always loved the technology part of it. I've always loved the studio part. Making albums. Besides writing songs, which has been my primary thing, making records would be second. Obviously, touring would be third. Touring wasn't my favorite thing to do, but the first few tours were pretty fun. Seeing the world and everything.
