Melancholy is kind of sweet sometimes, I think. It's not a negative thing. It's not a mean thing. It's just something that happens in life, like autumn.

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.

I don't want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar.

This is not a dress rehearsal this is your life.

Every moment that you share someone else's pain, feel what they feel, makes you more human.

I’ve killed myself so many times, I don’t even exist anymore.

There are a lot of actors that are more talented than me at Second City who quit it before they even got to a paying status. Weird luck. I had no other option.

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.

Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.

Image
People usually go through a bad period when they first get successful. You're new and you're hot and things go wrong.
Bill Murray
Image
People confuse friendship and relaxation. It's incredibly important to be relaxed - you don't have a chance if you're not relaxed. So I try very hard to relax any kind of tension. But friendship is different.

Love can be seeing that here we are and there's this world here.

You cannot pray them out of hell.

When you act obnoxious towards people, like on a movie set, they say we're ready for you and I say oh, go to hell, my feet hurt and my head aches. You want to have a margarita for lunch, and people like these little ADs and production assistants are like, well, he's drinking again.

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
Image
You had to keep the mood up you had to keep the tempo up. You had to keep the feeling of, Hey, we're doing something that's really exciting. It's fun being with these people. And the more fun you have, the better you do it.

The Army needs leaders the way a foot needs a big toe.

Parties are only bad when a fight breaks out, when men fight over women or vice versa. Someone takes a fall, an ambulance comes, and the police arrive. If you can avoid those things, pretty much all behaviour is acceptable.

I'm just an obnoxious guy who can make it appear charming, that's what they pay me to do.

You don't have to have all this film stock, you can work faster, and you don't need a giant crew. It's great.
