Excerpts:

- Dan Aykroyd on being back in FDNY Ladder 8: “I flashed on the scene where I bring the Ecto home for the first time, you know? And we shot that in the entrance here.”

- Paul Rudd on being a part of the “Ghostbusters” franchise: “There wasn’t any hesitation. It was really just excitement. One, because I’m, you know, a fan of the franchise. I love these guys, like everybody else.”

- Bill Murray on knowing “Ghostbusters” was going to be a success: “We had Thanksgiving at Ivan Reitman’s house. And he happened to show us just a little piece of something that we shot when we caught the first ghost. And I went back to work that day and said, ‘Guys, we can all relax. This is going to be really, really big.’...I knew right away it was – this stuff was so funny. Tearing up that hotel ballroom, I mean, the first 45 minutes of ‘Ghostbusters’ is about as funny as a movie can be. It’s really funny.”
