Dan Aykroyd quote on Ghostbusters 3 and Bill Murray's concern about it

"I think he was concerned that the writing on Ghostbusters 3 by these guys would not be up to standard, but I can tell you firsthand, I'm working on the script now and those two-Stupnitsky and Eisenberg wrote Bill the comic role of a lifetime, and the new Ghostbusters and the old are all well represented in it. We have a strong first draft that Harold [Ramis] and I will take back, and I'm very excited about working on it."

On race

"We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race."

Dan Aykroyd quote on the success of the cast of Saturday Night Live

"Chevy Chase was the first to make it huge - people would recognize 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 [John Belushi] was a little jealous. But I liked Chevy and was sorry to see him leave "Saturday Night Live" (1975). He's one of the master physical comedians."

On John Belushi

"A good man, but a bad boy."

Dan Aykroyd quote on being funny

"My attitude has always been, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if, if this makes me laugh, maybe somebody else will laugh at it, too. That's really where I've always come from. My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile. It's not always easy doing that. I'm never completely happy with anything I've done. If I've been successful with 80 percent of everything I've done, then I'm doing all right by the audience and myself."

Quote on Yogi Bear

"I think we wanted to get as close to the original characters as we possibly could because it is a tribute to that great classic Hanna-Barbera franchise. But I can't help who I am, so some of my personality comes through in the voice."

Dan Aykroyd on the idea for Coneheads

"I was looking at the TV and thinking, if people's heads were like this [he presses the sides of his skull together], they could fill the screen a little more."

Quote on some comedy going too far

"Yeah, and I don't really like vulgar stuff."

You mean this kind of thing isn't normal?

"You're talking to the man who had his pants down below his hips and who then put a pencil between his cheeks-on national television."

Dan Aykroyd on UFO's

"There is no question about UFOs. There are photos, videos, recordings. The military knows about them."
