More quotes by 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
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
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 have a brother who gives socks for Christmas. He gives socks. Every year, I get a pair of socks from him.
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
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
Religion is the worst enemy of mankind. No single war in the history of humanity has killed as many people as religion has.
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
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
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
Every moment that you share someone else's pain, feel what they feel, makes you more human.
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'm just an obnoxious guy who can make it appear charming, that's what they pay me to do.
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
You cannot pray them out of hell.
Bill Murray
I know how to be sour. I know that taste.
Bill Murray
The last thing I want is to be (in a film role) is obvious, direct and offensive.
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
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.
Bill Murray
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.
