 * "We play so loud, all our other amps couldn't take it, but we got new ones and they...they really..uuh... they... work! You know, I mean- like- we can really... push 'em... I mean, we could blow this whole place up if we wanted to, it would set up everything...Ha ha!
 * "1-2-3-4!"
 * "Tommy was simply at the right place at the right time".
 * "Well I guess it was a miserable... uh... life. It's not easy being in a rock and roll band."
 * "You know, I liked to go out and spend a lot of money, like an outlaw. I could go out and buy a guchi watch, you know, like 'What time is it?', It's guchi time! I know what that means, it's about rising above oppression, you know I'm a negro too. I don't know what all the fuss was about, the album wasn't that great anyway. You know, I can't rap- I'm not a negro."

Tommy Ramone

 * "C.J. was credited for keeping the band young".
 * "John went and moved to Florida to go to college. And because he went to college before I did, we threw him a big farewell party for him. A week later I go outside my apartment, and there's John. I said 'What are you doing?'. He says 'I didn't like it down there'."

Richie Ramone

 * "I never co-wrote with any of them, I wrote all my songs on my own."
 * "Just being a Ramone and blessed with the opportunity, is fucking huge. A Ramones fan is somewhat of a special breed. You can never fool them into believing something that is not true. They are way too smart for that."

C.J. Ramone
-Said to Mr. Burns when he appeared on the Simpsons.
 * "Go to Hell, you old bastard!"
 * "Joey was the hippie of the group."
