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.

I act like a jerk sometimes.

Everybody had some sort of vision problem, some sort of damage – I had to bury myself in my napkin.

Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can’t buy backbone. Don’t let them forget it. Thank you.
BILL MURRAY

Crosshairs Remember Take Thank
I don’t know what my fans are going to think. It’s definitely not what they’re used to from me.
