- Rick: I always find it flattering when somebody recognizes me.

- Rick Moranis: (About making movies) I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97. I'm a single parent and I just found that it was too difficult to manage raising my kids and doing the traveling involved in making movies. So I took a little bit of a break. And the little bit of a break turned into a longer break, and then I found that I really didn't miss it.

- Rick Moranis: (About making a country album) About a year ago, out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs. For lack of a better explanation, they're more country than anything. And I actually demo'ed four or five of them, and I'm not sure at this point what I'm going to do with them — whether I'm going to fold them into a full-length video or a movie. But, boy, I had a good time doing that.
