Notable quotes

“You're from the isle of ghosts and, as you know, there are ghosts walking around all over the place over there. Loads of people have seen them, heard a voice or felt the cold temperature. I believe that they are between here and there, that they exist between the fourth and the fifth dimension and that they visit us frequently.”
— To his interviewer in "I'm still haunted by Belushi" by Sean O'Hagan in The Observer (28 September 2003)
“I was never into the powders or pills. I tried it all but didn't like that clenched-teeth feeling. I didn't like the "I'm a palpitating rabbit and I'm gonna solve the world's problems" feeling either. I drank some beer. I'm still here.”
— On drug use, in "I'm still haunted by Belushi" by Sean O'Hagan in The Observer (28 September 2003)
“You know, even when the material wasn't so good, I've gotten to work with the greats, and I've always given it my best shot. I'm satisfied with my work. I could stop tomorrow, and if Bright Young Things was my last role, I could say I tidied it up with dignity.”
— As quoted in "I'm still haunted by Belushi" by Sean O'Hagan in The Observer (28 September 2003)
“Well, the common enemy in North America is the Western consumer. The consumer has driven oil up to $50.00 a barrel so we have to have these wars. I think it's incumbent upon us to.”
— Response to question from reporters as to who are the enemy in the above comment.
“I am a Spiritualist, a proud wearer of the Spiritualist badge. Mediums and psychic research have gone on for many, many years.”
— As quoted in Psychic News # 4001 (18 April 2009)
“You look at the floor and see the floor. I look at the floor and see molecules.”
