“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."
