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.
BILL MURRAYNo 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.
BILL MURRAYThat’s sort of why I got into acting. I realized the more fun I had, the better I did it. And I thought, that’s a job I could be proud of. It’s changed my life learning that, and it’s made me better at what I do.
BILL MURRAYAfghanistan is just one of those countries that no group can conquer. It’s so challenging to live, and the people are so close among their own tribes, their own groups, that you can’t rule them all, you can’t get an accord from all of them.
BILL MURRAYThere aren’t many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that’s a 24 hour job right there.
BILL MURRAYSo you’d have to improvise something or create something or try to work with the ware and try to figure out, how do you make this visually and orally acceptable, entertaining?
BILL MURRAYTo people who want to be rich and famous, I’d say, “Get rich first and see if that doesn’t cover it.”
BILL MURRAYI don’t know what my fans are going to think. It’s definitely not what they’re used to from me.
BILL MURRAYLike: ‘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.
BILL MURRAYSomewhere there’s a score being kept, so you have an obligation to live life as well as you can, be as engaged as you can.
BILL MURRAYThe first year I had money, I really went shopping. I got really caught up in it. I bought all my brothers sets of luggage, and I bought ’em winter coats from Giorgio Armani – winter coats. And I got a pair of socks from this brother.
BILL MURRAYRather 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 MURRAYIt just doesn’t matter if we win or we lose. IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER! It just doesn’t matter! It just doesn’t matter!
BILL MURRAYThere are people who drove me crazy, but they got the job done. And when I see that person again, I nod my head. Respect.
BILL MURRAYThis is not a dress rehearsal; this is your life.
BILL MURRAYNowadays, the scripts are just so much better, that you don’t have to feel that way. You feel like the script’s coming to you, you can just relax. You don’t have to drive the boat.
BILL MURRAYThe more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.
