Bill Murray

I think we’re all sort of imprisoned by – or at least bound to – the choices we make… You want to say no at the right time and you want to say yes more sparingly.
BILL MURRAY

Choices Thinking Want
You have to be as light as you can be and not get weighed down and stuck in your emotion, stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to always be trying to elevate somehow.
BILL MURRAY

Body Light Trying
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.

If you have a good script, that’s what gets you involved. It’s harder to write a good screenplay than to find something.
BILL MURRAY

Harder Scripts Writing

BILL MURRAY

Country Directors Want
One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.
BILL MURRAY

Acting Myself Way
I try to be available for life to happen to me. We’re in this life, and if you’re not available, the sort of ordinary time goes past and you didn’t live it. But if you’re available, life gets huge. You’re really living it.
BILL MURRAY

Ordinary Past Trying
Grab this day by the neck and kiss it.

Day Kissing Necks
To people who want to be rich and famous, I’d say, “Get rich first and see if that doesn’t cover it.”
BILL MURRAY

Firsts People Want
So far, I’ve only sailed in the Caribbean. I’ve sailed the Virgin Island and The Grenadines. I liked all that. We charted some really crummy boats in the Grenadines. That made for an exciting sailing trip (laughs) when everything goes well.

Exciting Islands Laughing Rip
Half of the people in this room are more dressed up than on any other day in the year, and the other half are more dressed down.
BILL MURRAY

Just the very thought of someone my age going to visit old girlfriends had instant appeal.Even women think, ‘That would be interesting.’ Not comfortable, but interesting. It is not a comfortable film at any point.
BILL MURRAY

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

Crash Knows People
No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
