More quotes by 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
The only good thing about fame that I've gotten is I've gotten out of a couple of speeding tickets. I've gotten into a restaurant when I didn't have a suit and tie on. That's really about it.
Bill Murray
I know how to be sour. I know that taste.
Bill Murray
I’ve killed myself so many times, I don’t even exist anymore.

I'm over the Oscar thing. I feel that if you really want an Oscar, you're in trouble. It's like wanting to be married - you'll take anybody. If you want the Oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. It becomes very unattractive. I've seen it.
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.

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
When I feel like I'm stuck, I do something - not like I'm Mother Teresa or anything, but there's someone that's forgotten about in your life, all the time. Someone that could use an 'Attaboy' or a 'How you doin' out there.
Bill Murray
I don't know how this guy knew how much money I was making. I didn't know how much money I was making.
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
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
I don't have to take this abuse from you -- I have hundreds of people waiting in line to abuse me!
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
I have a brother who gives socks for Christmas. He gives socks. Every year, I get a pair of socks from him.
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
I met a woman who photographed celebrity dogs for a book, and she told me that Ralph Lauren's dog is named Rugby. I said, Yeah, but his real name is Stickball.
Bill Murray
We still have to put some cherry syrup on it, and then we can eat it
Bill Murray
I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.
Bill Murray
The last thing I want is to be (in a film role) is obvious, direct and offensive.
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.
