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.

More quotes by 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
Somewhere there's a score being kept, so you have an obligation to live life as well as you can, be as engaged as you can.
Bill Murray
Those are my people, you know? The ones who are going to crash and burn.
Bill Murray
Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.
Bill Murray
I'm just an obnoxious guy who can make it appear charming, that's what they pay me to do.
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
I think romance basically starts with respect. And new romance always starts with respect. Like the song 'Love the One You're With' there is something to that. It's not just make love to whomever you're with, it's just love whomever you're with.
Bill Murray
Everyone needs to take a vacation from the sort of automatic things you do.
Bill Murray
I’ve killed myself so many times, I don’t even exist anymore.
Bill Murray
And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working.
Bill Murray
The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.
Bill Murray
Every moment that you share someone else's pain, feel what they feel, makes you more human.
Bill Murray
The atheists traditionally hold their conventions from Good Friday to Easter Sunday during the hours Christ spent in the grave.
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
Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
Bill Murray
I'm not an alcoholic, I only drink two times a year. When it's my birthday, and when it's not my birthday.
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
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
The Army needs leaders the way a foot needs a big toe.
Bill Murray
I wanted to be a doctor once upon a time, but it turns out you've got to study, and that wasn't going to happen. I had no idea what I was going to do. I had trouble holding jobs because they want you to be on time. That wasn't going to work.
