And, I believe that if a man dies with a single penny still sitting in the bank, he's a fool.
I had the most absurd nightmare. I was poor and no one liked me.
I've always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic.
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.
Everyone fears the cut of the blade. It doesn't matter after that. I know the spirit survives as there is so much evidence of the survival of the personality in the afterlife.
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 have this kind of mild nice-guy exterior, but inside my heart is like a steel trap.
One of my symptoms included my obsession with ghosts and law enforcement -- I carry around a police badge with me, for example. I became obsessed by Hans Holzer, the greatest ghost hunter ever. That's when the idea of my film Ghostbusters was born.

I believe that at the moment of death, that the soul is released in a molecular form, that actually goes into the - the fabric of the universe, the structure of hydrogen and nitrogen and oxygen because we're electrically - we're galvanic, we're electrochemical.
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.
My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile.
The Right-wingers everywhere take themselves too seriously, whether in the U.S. or the U.K. And, by the way, so does the Left. The Left can take itself a little too seriously as well.
