I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts.
Dan Aykroyd
I could sell used battery acid and make it fly.

Personally, I liked working for the university. They gave us money and facilities. We didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector ... they expect results!
Dan Aykroyd
I had a slight touch of Tourette's, which means you talk to yourself and bark and cry out at night.

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.
Dan Aykroyd
American Society for Psychical Research Journals were all around the house when I was a kid.
Dan Aykroyd
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.
Dan Aykroyd
You do not need a therapist if you own a motorcycle, any kind of motorcycle!
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.
Dan Aykroyd
The entertainment business is not the be-all and end-all for me.
Dan Aykroyd
You look at the floor and see the floor. I look at the floor and see molecules.
Dan Aykroyd
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.
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
My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile.
Dan Aykroyd
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 !
Dan Aykroyd
