Dan Aykroyd

Parodies of commercials are by no means new and have been popular going back to black-and-white TV shows of the '50s.

I had a slight touch of Tourette's, which means you talk to yourself and bark and cry out at night.

I don't like people lying to me. I don't like people who don't return my calls. I don't like people who won't give me a straight answer. I don't like those kinds of people, and I've been vocal about it.

You do not need a therapist if you own a motorcycle, any kind of motorcycle!

And, I believe that if a man dies with a single penny still sitting in the bank, he's a fool.

Heaven to me is percussion and bass, a screaming guitar and a burbling Hammond B-3 organ. It's a soup I love being immersed in.

There's huge, massive mother ships going up to the Yukon. They've been filmed and are on video.

Greetings and death to our enemies.

I'd make a bad preacher.

Everyone fears the cut of the blade. It doesn't matter after that. I know the spirit survives as there is so much evidence of the survival of the personality in the afterlife.

Have I personally ever seen a ghost? Not one.

Am I a trance medium? No. Have I got a gift psychically? Absolutely not. But I believe in the survival of consciousness after death.

I have this kind of mild nice-guy exterior, but inside my heart is like a steel trap.

We have the most beautiful planet - the Rockies, the purple fields of the United States, the Lake District, the Pyrenees, the turquoise seas of the tropics.

Well, the common enemy in North America is the Western consumer. The consumer has driven oil up to $50 a barrel so we have to have these wars. I think it's incumbent upon us to.

My great-grandfather, Sam Aykroyd, was a dentist in Kingston, Ontario, and he was also an Edwardian spiritualist researcher who was very interested in what was going on in the invisible world, the survival of the consciousness, precipitated paintings, mediumship, and trans-channeling.

People love gentle larceny.

I get offers all the time from film makers, but they are unknown quantities. I don't go there and do experiments.

Hygiene is important. That's one of my failings. So I'm always being called on that.

I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts. I really did have to walk home six miles through the snow, like your grandparents used to complain.

I live in a high rise with my family part of the year in New York and I don't know three quarters of the people in the building. We live in the same square-footage and I wouldn't know who they were.

I love to come in and play with a wig or glasses or clothes. I love using props. I'm from the Peter Sellers school of trying to prepare for the character.

I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts.

I've always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic.

I don't need fame any more. People are less interested in me in terms of celebrity. I'm happy to see a new generation being the media focus. I'm happy my day is done. It's over.

We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.

My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile.

You look at the floor and see the floor. I look at the floor and see molecules.

When I'm not acting, I'm writing, building an inventory of scripts. Even if they sit on the shelf, I just keep stacking them up.

I think I'm a narcoleptic. I could sleep on a railway track with a train running over me, in-between the rails.

I could sell used battery acid and make it fly.
