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.

More quotes by Bill Murray
I went to Second City, where you learned to make the other actor look good so you looked good and National Lampoon, where you had to create everything out of nothing, and SNL, where you couldn't make any mistakes, and you learned what collaboration was.
Bill Murray
My first movie, I got nominated for a Canadian Oscar-for Meatballs. For MEATBALLS. And who am I up against? George C. Scott. So he wins the award and I stand up and go, 'That's it-let's get the hell outta here.'
Bill Murray
To people who want to be rich and famous, I'd say, Get rich first and see if that doesn't cover it.
Bill Murray
Be available for life to happen.
Bill Murray
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
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
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.
Bill Murray
I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.
Bill Murray
I'd sort of gone through some sort of spiritual change in the late 70s where I sort of saw there was some other life to live. It changed the way that I worked just having a different presence and a different tension.
Bill Murray
I don't believe that you can give the same performance every take. It's physically impossible, so why bother? If you don't do what is happening at that moment, then it's not real. Then you're holding something back.
Bill Murray
Chicago actors are hard-nosed. They're tough on themselves and their fellow actors. They're self-demanding.
Bill Murray
I think if you can take care of yourself, and then maybe try to take care of someone else, that's sort of how you're supposed to live.
Bill Murray
If you walk up to some random person on the street, grab them by the shoulder, and say 'Did you just see what I saw?!', you'll find that no-one wants to talk to you.
Bill Murray
You cannot pray them out of hell.
Bill Murray
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
Its Christmas Eve! Its the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be.
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
All of us kids ended up 'doing Mom.' There are four of us who've tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun, who does liturgical dance.
Bill Murray
That's the reason I'm not the one that's dead because the attraction of the fast life is very powerful.
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
