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.

More quotes by Bill Murray
You cannot pray them out of hell.
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
I don't really read the reviews, but I remember one a long time ago I read that said that I had a face like a potato.
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
The Army needs leaders the way a foot needs a big toe.
Bill Murray
You can handle just about anything that comes at you out on the road with a believable grin, common sense and whiskey.
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
Melancholy is kind of sweet sometimes, I think. It's not a negative thing. It's not a mean thing. It's just something that happens in life, like autumn.
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 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
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
Something wild can happen to anybody and I caution anybody that walks out on the street, just settle your accounts before you leave the house every day.
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
Sometimes I snore, like when I get really tired.
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
I'd like [Santa Claus] to give Wes Anderson, the director, enough money in his next budget for an aerial shot - just a little copter shot. He really wanted this one helicopter shot, and Disney wouldn't give him the money. Just wouldn't give him the money. Every day, he was talking to the studio about this helicopter shot.
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
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 want to have a relationship with someone if I'm not going to work with them.
Bill Murray
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
