“I wrote many things for and with John. I know this is one assignment he'd rather I didn't have to take on. Although I had a close – head to head, arm to arm working relationship with John, that proximity never affected the fact that from the moment I met him, through all work, I remain his number one fan. He was a brilliant performer, writer, tactician, business strategist and most importantly, he was the only man that I could dance with. He was a great – a world class – emissary of American humor. John was a patriot, a resident of the most wide open, liberal society on earth, and he took full advantage of it. In come cases, real greatness gives license for real indulgence; whether it's as a reward, as therapy or as sanctuary. For as hard as John worked, there had to be an additional illicit thrill to make the effort all worthwhile. John was a nighthawk, true. But he was not an immoral individual. He was a good man, a kind man, a warm man, a hot man. What we are talking about here is a good man – and a bad boy. Johnny – you can be sure that I'll have my antennae out for the paranatural and the spiritual, and believe me, if there's any contact with him, I'll let you know.”
Dan Aykroyd

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

“John's [Belushi] death, and I learned when friends reach out to you you better get back to them quick because I missed a phone call from John. He left a message on my answering machine and I was at a period where I really didn't want to talk to him because he was being so uncompliant with what his wife wanted and with what we wanted, so I let a day go by and that day may have cost him his life. I let a day go by before responding and it was too late by the time I heard the message, he was gone. When your friends reach out to you get back to them pretty quick. That's the lesson right there. I live with that all the time. Now maybe it might not have occurred but I missed that phone call, I heard his message and didn't call him back and the next day it was too late."
(Asked the worst event in your life and what you learned from it. Dan Rather interview, 2018)”
