The only type of music I don’t like is Dixieland jazz. It’s just a little too happy and noisy for me. I like intervals and spaces in my music. There’s just something about Dixieland. Rick Moranis Read Quote
For me music is pretty personal. I generally listen to it alone, and I’ve never been a lover of concerts. So I don’t think I really bond with other people over music. That’s not unique to music for me, either. I feel that way about film, television, art, everything. I read a book alone, so why wouldn’t I listen to music alone? Rick Moranis Read Quote
There are fans of some of the old movies that’ll mention those, and there’s people that have little kids that’ll look at me and say, ‘Wow, I just watched ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ 35,000 times, and here you are!’ Rick Moranis Read Quote
There’s a song called ‘Live Blogging the Himmel Family Bris.’ I kind of went for it here in terms of – it was really fun to be explaining ritual circumcision in Nashville – a lot of brises are done in hospitals, but many are done in people’s homes, and there’s a lot of food, and a lot of leftovers.

I don’t limit my taste. There’s some jazz that I like and there’s some opera. I’ve been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock. Rick Moranis Read Quote
Canada Day comes and goes modestly every year. Sure, there are retail sales promotions and a long weekend. But there isn’t bluster or commodity in Canadian celebration. Canada isn’t big on bunting. Or jet flyovers, fireworks, marching bands or military pomp. Rick Moranis Read Quote
Until 1982, Canada Day was known as Dominion Day. I always thought that had more of a ring to it. Beyond the zippy alliteration, it reminded us citizens that our domain of orderly domesticity was graced by the dominant power of our ‘Dominus.’ Rick Moranis Read Quote
And we had the perhaps unfair advantage of not having to worry about what an audience was gonna think. We were in a vacuum. We were making little short films, really. Rick Moranis Read Quote
