I'm elated about becoming part of Elektra again. In 1970, Elektra was the first record company I ever visited. I was just a kid from Cleveland, but I idolized Elektra bands like the Doors, Love, Joni Mitchell and all the others. ... The Cars signed with Elektra in 1978, so I feel like I'm coming full circle.
More Quotes from Ric Ocasek:
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
The best thing you can do for a song is to hear it on the radio and to imagine what it could mean to you and then kinda forget the words. Just imagine how you felt when you heard it, if it was one of your songs. If it became one of your songs. If it meant whatever it meant for you and as soon as you see the visual, you get a rapid eye movement relationship with the song instead of an imaginative one. I think that can be dangerous because I don't think I'd want to be listening to a song on the radio and thinking about the video. Whatever that one interpretation was.
Ric Ocasek
I don't know because I don't think about it much in those terms. I don't think about what is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. It seems to me that things don't last long anyway. 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. There's gotta be something higher - - and lower. But I have all kinds of ups and downs, highs and lows, I'm always chasing them.

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
Secrecy is the enemy of efficiency, but don't let anyone know it.
Ric Ocasek
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.
