People sometimes say that bands sound like The Cars, but when I hear it I don't know if they do or not.
From Ric Ocasek
When I produce other people, that's the thing I can do well because I've been in a band, and I can play the political game and make everybody feel happy, and I can check their performances, and I can work on the sound while they're being a band.
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.
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.
I didn't feel like gymnastics were part of The Cars. I certainly philosophically didn't want to prod the audience to react to anything. To me, it was more like negative theater. We didn't really talk to the audience. I didn't see that being a part of this band.
I'm not proud of the lyrics to 'Shake It Up.'
