""What a gift to have gotten to dance in the warm glow of Catherine O'Hara's brilliance for all those years," he wrote. "Having spent over fifty years collaborating with my Dad, Catherine was extended family before she ever played my family. It's hard to imagine a world without her in it. I will cherish every funny memory I was fortunate enough to make with her.""
""For me, and for most of my friends, it's SCTV: all I have to do is think about one of the characters she created, like Lola Heatherton or Dusty Towne, and I'm laughing. Catherine was a true comic genius, a true artist, and a wonderful human being. I was blessed to be able to work with her on After Hours, and I'm going to miss her presence and her artistry.""
