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

We’re born alone. We do need each other. It’s lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that’s part of your obligation.
BILL MURRAY

Giving Life Live Lonely
He’s going on and on and on, and finally he stops. It’s just total horror, and the camera’s still rolling. You can hear it, sort of a grinding noise. And the director says, “Anything else, Bud?”

Anything Bud Else Grinding
Afghanistan is just one of those countries that no group can conquer. It’s so challenging to live, and the people are so close among their own tribes, their own groups, that you can’t rule them all, you can’t get an accord from all of them.
BILL MURRAY

Challenge Country People
While I have felt lonely many times in my life, the oddest feeling of all was after my mother, Lucille, died. My father had already died, but I always had some attachment to our big family while she was alive. It seems strange to say now that I felt so lonely, yet I did.

In Japan, you have no idea what they are saying, and they can’t help you either. Nothing makes any sense. They’re very polite, but you feel like a joke is being played on you the entire time you’re there.

Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.

Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

I’m just a potato that won’t quit. I’m a potato with some legs. Some have eyes, I’ve got legs.

You want my dark side? Have I ever stolen anything? Not so much intentionally. But I don’t think it’s so much stealing as… being a part of the flow of the universe.

Dark Negative Thinking
Those are my people, you know? The ones who are going to crash and burn.
BILL MURRAY

Crash Knows People
Eh, it’s not that attractive to have a plan. I know that if I ever feel that I need to make a funny movie, I’ll figure out how to write one. I’ll get it done. If I ever get some ambition, I’m gonna get some shit done.
BILL MURRAY

Attractive Movie Need Plans
That’s the reason I’m not the one that’s dead because the attraction of the fast life is very powerful.
BILL MURRAY

Life Powerful Reason
You have to hope that [good things] happen to you. […] That’s the only thing we really, surely have, is hope. You hope that you can be alive, that things will happen to you that you’ll actually witness, that you’ll participate in.
BILL MURRAY

Monday Over Rolling You
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

Life Obligation Score
You have to be as light as you can be, and you don’t have to be weighted down, stuck in your emotions and stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to try and elevate something.
BILL MURRAY

Body Elevate Emotions Something
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.
