Dan Aykroyd Filmography

• "If it hadn't been for Carleton [University], The Blues Brothers movie would never have been made."
• "At 49 years old, I'm really feeling sedentary, reclusive. I really just want to just shut everything down for a while."
• "To this day I still have that blue-collar mentality."
• "I'd like to find and choose the last vehicle and exit on a really high, graceful, substantial note in film."
• "Everyone leaves a bioelectric residue behind them as they walk through life. So it really is possible for a living being to haunt a place where they are well known."
• "It was well known that at Saturday Night Live I sampled all the drugs that were passed across the desks, but I never really liked it too much. Growing up in the '60s and '70s, there was a sort of selfish license to go and try that stuff. I've dispensed with all that; I'm more of a fine-red-wine guy now. I never had that love of coke that John [Belushi] did. He had big appetites. I've lost some beautiful friends...Alex Taylor--James Taylor's brother, River Phoenix... I've had a lot of people go before me."
