"I could sell used battery acid and make it fly." — 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.

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

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

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

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.

You know, I've sold a lot of bad movies in my time.

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.

I could live on challah bread, the Jewish kosher bread, quite happily.
