More quotes by Bill Murray
I think there's only so many people that can take care of themselves, and can take care of other people. And the rest of the people … they're useful in terms of compost for the whole planet, you know.
Bill Murray
It's much harder to play beloved than to play a rotten guy. Rotten guy is a piece of cake. So playing a beloved person really sets a high bar for your behavior and your acting and what you project.
Bill Murray
One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.
Bill Murray
The money thing is, the sort of Elvis Presley thing of buying you mother car is great, that's very good. My mother has learned how to spend money.
Bill Murray
I'm not an alcoholic, I only drink two times a year. When it's my birthday, and when it's not my birthday.
Bill Murray
Disneyland. The world's biggest people trap, built by a mouse.
Bill Murray
Mrs. O'Hair died horribly, a victim of the world she helped to shape. Without the Deity she fought so hard against, there is no right and wrong, increasingly people are ruled by their passions and humanity is a tragedy waiting to happen.
Bill Murray
I'm just a potato that won't quit. I'm a potato with some legs. Some have eyes, I've got legs.
Bill Murray
People only talk about what a joyous experience it is, but there is terror: Your life, as you know it, is over. It's over the day that child is born. It's over, and something completely new starts.
Bill Murray
Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it.
Bill Murray
I really don't know what's going to come out of my mouth.
Bill Murray
The last thing I want is to be (in a film role) is obvious, direct and offensive.
Bill Murray
I kinda like this Jay-Z thing, where he’s retired, but he keeps doing shows. I think I beat him to that. If you say you’re retired, people don’t bother you so much, and then if you want to do something, you can do it.
Bill Murray
Chicago actors are hard-nosed. They're tough on themselves and their fellow actors. They're self-demanding.
Bill Murray
If I run into someone on the street, that's one thing. But answering mail for a living? I like a job where you can play and act kind of goofy and have some fun.
Bill Murray
When the phone started ringing too many times, I had to take it back to what I can handle. I take my chances on a job or a person as opposed to a situation. I don't like to have a situation placed over my head.
Bill Murray
I think romance basically starts with respect. And new romance always starts with respect. Like the song 'Love the One You're With' there is something to that. It's not just make love to whomever you're with, it's just love whomever you're with.
Bill Murray
I didn't get into this position by being like a stiff sitting on the set in a folding chair. I did it by walking around on the streets and stirring things up.
Bill Murray
Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.
Bill Murray
Drinking again? Go to hell. All I ever do is make some movies that made a lot of money now leave me alone, I want to have some fun.
Bill Murray
