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

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.

Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.

So I went, and one of the funniest film moments I’ve ever had was when they introduced the New York film critics. They all stood up – motley isn’t the word for that group.

Critics Group Introduced Stood World
The critics. When they’re right, they’re right for the wrong reasons. And they’re usually wrong.
BILL MURRAY

Critics Reason Right Wrong
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.

Groundhog Day’ was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn’t even get nominated for an Academy Award.

The set is stocked with Victorian extras and little children in Oliver kind of outfits, and the director says, “All right, Bud – just give it whatever you want.” And Hackett goes off on a rant. Unbelievably obscene.

Oliver Right Stocked Unbelievable
Golf was my first glimpse of comedy. I was a caddy when I was a kid. I was on the golf course rather than being in lessons, but I can play better now than I could then.

When I was a little kid playing baseball, my manager called me Sleepy. And only a few people, who know me from way, way back, call me that still. I used to drift off and that’s why they made me the catcher, so I wouldn’t fall asleep. That gift I have still.

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 MURRAY

Romance Song Thinking
You can tell how boring a person is by the lack of fear in their eyes when someone is flipping through photos on their phone.
