Why would you get up there and bore people? I never have figured that out. These people are supposedly in the entertainment industry, and they finally get up there to that podium and they become the most boring people in the world.

More quotes by Bill Murray
I don't have to take this abuse from you -- I have hundreds of people waiting in line to abuse me!
Bill Murray
There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that's a 24 hour job right there.
Bill Murray
I'm a nut, but not just a nut.
Bill Murray
We still have to put some cherry syrup on it, and then we can eat it
Bill Murray
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.
Bill Murray
But I can only take so much TV, because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet, how to live your life, how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls.
Bill Murray
There's only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing. Sometimes you can avoid a traffic violation. But the only time it really matters is in the emergency room with your kids. That's when you want to be noticed, because it's very easy to get forgotten in an ER.
Bill Murray
I go home and stay there. I wash and scrub up each day, and that's it. One month I actually grew a moustache, just so I could say that I'd done something.
Bill Murray
Disneyland. The world's biggest people trap, built by a mouse.
Bill Murray
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
Bill Murray
One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.
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
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
And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working.
Bill Murray
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.
Bill Murray
Don't think about your errors or failures otherwise, you'll never do a thing.
Bill Murray
When I work, my first relationship with people is professional. There are people who want to be your friend right away. I say, We're not gonna be friends until we get this done. If we don't get this done, we're never going to be friends, because if we don't get the job done, then the one thing we did together that we had to do together we failed
Bill Murray
No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
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
You can handle just about anything that comes at you out on the road with a believable grin, common sense and whiskey.
