Dan Aykroyd Quotes

"If it hadn't been for Carleton [University], The Blues Brothers movie would never have been made."

"Ghostbusters 3 will never happen. Unless Bill Murray agrees. Everyone else would love to do it, Columbia, Harold, myself, Ivan. It's a five-way rights situation and Bill is locking up his piece of the rights because he feels that was work he just wants preserved and he doesn't want it diluted. As an artist I can respect that."

On the Blues Brother sequel - "Basically they gave us the budget to make the film. We got paid zero. I wanted Jim Belushi to play the part Joe Morton did, but he was doing a TV show and couldn't do it. But Morton did a great job and John Goodman did a good job. I think it's a good companion piece to the first film."

"Chevy Chase was the first to make it huge - people would recognise him in the street: 'hey Chubby Chase, look at Chubby Chase'. Everybody knew who he was. He was the first to start on a movie career and maybe Belushi was a little jealous. But I liked Chevy and was sorry to see him leave SNL. He's one of the master physical comedians. I think you can place Buster Keaton and Chevy in the same sentence and be pretty safe there."

[When asked if he ever gets recognized for anything]: "I have this young female demographic that recognizes me as the dad from 'My Girl' and this older female demographic that recognizes me as the son from 'Driving Miss Daisy'."

[eulogizing his good friend and fellow Blues Brother, the late great
John Belushi] "...A good man, but a bad boy."
