To his interviewer in "I'm still haunted by Belushi" by Sean O'Hagan in The Observer (28 September 2003) http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2003/sep/28/features.review <br class="br">Context: You're from the isle of ghosts and, as you know, there are ghosts walking around all over the place over there.
