Dan Aykroyd - biography

“Greetings and death to our enemies.”

“Well, the common enemy in North America is the Western consumer.  The consumer has driven oil up to $50 a barrel so we have to have these wars.  I think it’s incumbent upon us to.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“You look at the floor and see the floor.  I look at the floor and see molecules.”
