- [On the rumored animated Ghostbusters III] Ernie Hudson: I don't know how much of it is real and how much of it is wishful thinking at this point. I know Danny wants to to do it, but Danny has always wanted to do something. I think they have Bill on board now to do the voice. I think that's been the main thing holding a third one up. Bill had some kind of approval rights that was holding it up, or there would have already been a third one. I'll know for sure when the studio calls for me to do the voice, and right now, they haven't called, but the rumor is out there, so we'll see what happens.

- [On being an actor] Ernie Hudson: Being an actor never occurred to me. There was no one even remotely connected to the industry where I was from. It wasn't until I got to college that I realized how much I enjoyed it.

- Ernie Hudson: The thing that altered my life the most was when my first marriage ended and my two young sons came to live with me. Thankfully, their mother had taught them how to cook and clean.
