More quotes by 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
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
Can't get around the old minimum wage, Mortimer.
Dan Aykroyd
Certainly the format of ghostbusting lends itself to a videogame beautifully.
Dan Aykroyd
I get offers all the time from film makers, but they are unknown quantities. I don't go there and do experiments.
Dan Aykroyd
You do not need a therapist if you own a motorcycle, any kind of motorcycle!
Dan Aykroyd
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.
Dan Aykroyd
I have this kind of mild nice-guy exterior, but inside my heart is like a steel trap.
Dan Aykroyd
American Society for Psychical Research Journals were all around the house when I was a kid.
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
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
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
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
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.
Dan Aykroyd
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
I am a Spiritualist, a proud wearer of the Spiritualist badge. Mediums and psychic research have gone on for many, many years.
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
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
Parodies of commercials are by no means new and have been popular going back to black-and-white TV shows of the '50s.
