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.

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
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
If it starts to drag on set, or if you feel like it's not a fun experience, people get down, the energy gets down. You've got to keep the energy up.
Bill Murray
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.
Bill Murray
Chicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear, and when I do, it's usually something unusual.
Bill Murray
Most people, when they talk fast, they get flat.
Bill Murray
The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything.

I kinda like this Jay-Z thing, where he’s retired, but he keeps doing shows. I think I beat him to that. If you say you’re retired, people don’t bother you so much, and then if you want to do something, you can do it.
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
People confuse friendship and relaxation. It's incredibly important to be relaxed - you don't have a chance if you're not relaxed. So I try very hard to relax any kind of tension. But friendship is different.
Bill Murray
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
Bill Murray
Everyone needs to take a vacation from the sort of automatic things you do.
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
You know how funerals are not for the dead, they’re for the living? Bachelor parties are not for the groom, they’re for the uncommitted.
Bill Murray
Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
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
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
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
Don't think about your errors or failures otherwise, you'll never do a thing.
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.
