The cell will completely collapse and become nothing. That’s kind of what it’s like being famous. People say hi, how are you doing, and after the thousandth time, you just get angry; you really pop.
BILL MURRAY

Angry People Pop Thousand
Like: ‘Don’t walk out there with one hand in your pocket unless there’s somethin’ in there you’re going to bring out.’ You gotta commit. You’ve gotta go out there and improvise and you’ve gotta be completely unafraid to die.

Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn’t here yet, whatever it’s going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That’s it.

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.

Back then, when a movie came out and people saw you on the street, their reaction was so supercharged that it was scary. It would frighten other people. It used to really rattle me.

Frighten People Rattle Supercharged
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
I go home and stay there. I wash and scrub up each day, and that’s it. One month I actually grew a moustache, just so I could say that I’d done something.
BILL MURRAY

Home Month Mustache
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

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
When I started, the scripts weren’t as good, and you’d have to have a huge burst of energy to go, “Sheesh, how am I going to? This stuff’s no good.”
BILL MURRAY

Energy Everything Relax Trying Visual

The truth is, anybody that becomes famous is an ass for a year and a half. You’ve got to give them a year and a half, two years.
BILL MURRAY

Ass Famous Giving Two Years
I’m not an ungenerous person; I don’t resent it. It’s just sort of a head-scratcher.
BILL MURRAY

Persons Resent Scratcher
I knew that’s where I was going. I knew we were going to Italy. You couldn’t make this movie in America at this price. I knew it was going to be big. I knew there was going to be a ship involved and that there was going to be a set as big as the ship.
BILL MURRAY

Country Directors Want
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
Chicago actors are hard-nosed. They’re tough on themselves and their fellow actors. They’re self-demanding.

Rather than life just rolling over you, and you wake up and it’s Thursday, and what happened to Monday? Whatever the best part of my life has been, has been as a result of that remembering.
BILL MURRAY

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

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

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.
BILL MURRAY

The Army needs leaders the way a foot needs a big toe.

Army Feet Humorous
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.
