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