My character, Rick Spleen, is a what-if version of me, really, where nothing did quite turn out right and everything else is still around the corner.
I love raccoons. I had a raccoon figurine collection as a kid, and I now have two movies with ‘Ranger Rick’ jokes in them. I love ’em. They come in my back yard all the time, and we just stare at each other like a couple of idiots.
Rick Rubin’s amazing, by the way. I just need to say that.
I live in Atlanta because Ludacris lives in Atlanta. And because T.I. lives in Atlanta and because Lil Wayne comes to Atlanta to hang out all the time and because Rick Ross’ engineers are in Atlanta.
That’s what a producer does – make it better; help make the song better and make the band better. Not write music for the band or tell a band what to do. And Rick Rubin doesn’t tell you what to do; that’s why some people don’t like him.
I met Rick Rubin through Cat Collins, a DJ friend of mine that had worked for Rubin at American Recordings.
Yes, there were piano bands and great rock pianists, from Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard to Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, and Elton John. But something about the electric guitar speaks of more than music – it epitomizes and gives voice to the rebellion, power, and sexuality of rock.
You know what, if Rick Rubin would produce another Geto Boys album I’d do it.
When Rick Ross made ‘Hustlin’,’ Rick Ross also helped those producers become some of the biggest producers in the world.
I can’t wait to work for Rick Kaplan. He’s a great producer. I would host an infomercial if he would produce it.
Whether you’re talking about Chris Christie, or you’re talking about Rick Perry or Scott Walker or John Kasich, there’s more interesting evolution at the state level than there is in Washington.
Guilt is an emotion that is never very far away from Rick Grimes. He’s a man that shoulders the responsibility, and it’s one of the forces that keeps pushing him on.
I never in my life watch ‘Rick and Morty’ unless I came home from school and it was on TV.
I wear Rick Owens T-shirts to bed. They are like my thermals, since I sleep with the room at near freezing temperatures, like a meat locker.
Since it’s no longer my singular source of income, I’ve withdrawn from fashion spaces a bit. However, I still have a deep love for fashion and want to continue to work with designers and houses that inspire me – like Rick Owens, whose show I would no doubt walk in again if the opportunity arose.
To me, it’s like, what’s good for me is good for Cheap Trick… and what’s good for Rick is good for Cheap Trick, and so on… and that’s the thing.
Yes, I want to work with Rick Rubin. Yes, I want to work with Trent Reznor. Yes, I want to work with Madlib. Yes, I want to get with all these wonderful people. Collie Buddz, Marsha Ambrosius. I just want to go, man. I’m gonna keep on making music.
Rick Rubin was able to do things that Dave Fortman could never do. I’m not trying to take anything away from Dave Fortman as a producer. He’s extremely talented. He wasn’t able to get nine people together on the same page and, to me, that’s the most important thing in making a Slipknot record.
Growing up, my dad drank a lot of wine, so I got a taste for, and learned how to enjoy it. He spoke a lot about flavors and differences in tastes of wine. Also, our manager, Rick Sales, is a big wine drinker; he goes to a lot of wine-tasting classes, and he’s taught me about the qualities of wine.
I have a better head of hair than Rick Perry; it’s just not in a place I can show you.
Pat Riley, Dave Checketts and Ernie Grunfeld – they brought the Knicks back to the glory days. It started with Rick Pitino. We took our first step with him, making the playoffs. When Pat came in we just kicked the door open.
I know, on ‘Rick and Morty,’ we had the time where they unfreeze time, and they’re in trouble because of it. The time starts splitting. That episode, we got a little too focused on ‘how,’ the hows and the science behind it, and oh my God, it was – it was spiraling us for sure.
Rick Rubin is interesting. He doesn’t wear shoes, I think? No wait, he wears shoes.
If I’m going to compare myself to a candidate, it’s Rick Scott. It’s not Donald Trump.
I like me some Bape, you know. But I wear anything, to be honest. Adyn, Rick Owens, Givenchy, anything. I shop from everywhere.
Hendrick definitely realises that we’re young and trying to learn – and wrecking cars is part of how you learn. Jeff Gordon went through 20 something clips in his first season, but Rick Hendrick realised he had to take a chance on Jeff Gordon. They wrecked a lot of cars, but Jeff Gordon has given him four championships.
Rick Owens is my desert island designer. I could live in his clothes alone, and I collect Ossie Clark.
I have a fan base worldwide, man. I think they’re really down for me. That’s how I got signed – 30,000 fans retweeting Rick Ross.
I love Michel Roux, Jr., and James Martin – the chefs who are experts in their own right, like Rick Stein on fish. But I don’t watch them very much because I don’t think it’s fair for my husband to be in a total food environment all the time! So we watch programmes about gardening more.
If you put the collections together, whether it’s Rick Owens, Alexander Wang, or whomever, sometimes they do streetwear, but they’re never called that. They’re always called ‘sportswear’ or ‘high-end’ or ‘luxury.’ I feel like I’m tossed into that streetwear category so that I don’t exist in this space.
To me, I have always been a Rick Adelman fan. I felt like if I had been in his systems, I probably would have been a better player than I was because if you look at his system, it was ideal for me.
One of the hidden benefits of me being a student manager at Kentucky was me having the responsibility of driving Rick Pitino to his motivational speaking engagements.
BoJack Horseman’ would make sense in the world of ‘Rick and Morty,’ but it’s hard to imagine Rick and Morty in the world of BoJack.
People say, ‘Oh, Rick, he’s crazy.’ Well, I’m crazy, and I’m not crazy… When I went to my high school reunion, I was the only one there doing what he said he was going to do. How crazy is that?
One place had a winning record that I went to, and that was Detroit. Rick Carlisle laid a foundation that gave us a chance to win a championship.
It is literally painful to watch Rick Perry as a candidate.
I’m not much of a Rick Moody fan, but I want to be a fan for the Rick Moody I thought might appear after his first two novels, ‘Garden State’ (1992) and ‘The Ice Storm’ (1994).
I really liked them, not just Syd, but all of them. Roger was very important, I thought, his contribution. And so was Rick’s organ playing. It was a good band. It became something else completely, obviously.
The biggest thing Rick Rubin taught me is that you don’t get any extra credit by doing everything yourself.
When I turned 18, my agent was like, ‘You should change from Ricky to Rick.’ So I thought it was a good idea. Rick never really fit. I tried for 18 years to make it work, and no one wanted to call me Rick. It should always have been Ricky. That’s what it always should have been, so I’m going back to it.
The case could be made that Rick Perry is the worst debater to ever run for president.
The great apologist has to have lived large and wild. If he’s going to kiss the world’s boo-boos and make up, he’d better plant some bruises first. A master apologizer has to be a Lord Byron, a Rick in Casablanca, a Lee Atwater, anyway.
You ready? I have gold teeth, I have braids, I’m wearing Rick Owens moon boots, I have rips in my denim, a biker vest, I love artsy girls, my favourite artists are Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon. I’m obsessed with being different.
When I was still back in Cameroon, because I didn’t know English, I used to listen to French rap all the time and then a little bit of American hip-hop. And then, when I got to the States, that’s when I really got into all those guys – Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, all those guys.
After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Alinsky’s 1971 book, ‘Rules for Radicals,’ is a favorite of the Obamas. Michele Obama quoted it at the Democratic Convention. One Alinsky tactic is to ‘Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.’ That’s what the White House did in targeting Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer.
Rick Rude is the reason I even got abs in the first place. I was just a fan of the way he did things. He was the kind of guy who would walk into a room and automatically take control.
You gotta love Rick Perry’s swagger. The Texas Governor is out there in the Iowa cornfields, unabashedly going to toe-to-toe with President Obama, doing his best to instantly cast himself as the big dog in the Republican pack.
Everybody who know Rick Ross know that, for one, I love creating music, and one of the biggest impacts we have on the game was the fact that when we came into the game, artists was waiting two to three years to put out albums. I was one of the few that put out an album every year along with two or three mixtapes.
If Rick Santorum and Rachel Maddow are both gunning for you, it probably means you’re on the right track.
My mother gave me this book called Feature Films at Used Car Prices by a guy named Rick Schmidt. I gotta credit the guy, cuz he gave me the most practical advice. It empowers you.
