My first jobs were all civil service. At 14, I worked for the Canadian National Railways. At 16, I worked for the Canadian Penitentiary Service.

Dan Aykroyd
I have this kind of mild nice-guy exterior, but inside my heart is like a steel trap.
Dan Aykroyd
I get really grinchy right up until Christmas morning.
Dan Aykroyd
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.
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.
Dan Aykroyd
I had the most absurd nightmare. I was poor and no one liked me.
Dan Aykroyd
Comedy makes everything accessible. Watching the news is kind of like being fed your evening pill. What's fun about it? Nothing. And so if you can get news and information about things going on in the world through a comic platform, everything's going to connect.
Dan Aykroyd
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.
Dan Aykroyd
I'd make a bad preacher.
Dan Aykroyd
Am I a trance medium? No. Have I got a gift psychically? Absolutely not. But I believe in the survival of consciousness after death.

James Brown opened at least six of our House of Blues clubs. He always delivered, but he demanded the respect of an emperor. But, come on, he's James Brown ! ... I got to play on stage with him. Did he ever fine me ? (Brown was known to fine players for flubbing notes or steps) - I would have loved to have been fined by James Brown !
