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 MURRAYChicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear, and when I do, it’s usually something unusual.
BILL MURRAYDisneyland. The world’s biggest people trap, built by a mouse.
BILL MURRAYSo 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.
BILL MURRAYThe cool part about naming your kid is you don’t have to add six numbers to make sure the name is available.
BILL MURRAYYou know…they say an elephant never forgets. What they don’t tell you is, you never forget an elephant.
BILL MURRAYI 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 MURRAYYou 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 MURRAYI’m over the Oscar thing. I feel that if you really want an Oscar, you’re in trouble. It’s like wanting to be married – you’ll take anybody. If you want the Oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. It becomes very unattractive. I’ve seen it.
BILL MURRAYI really don’t know what’s going to come out of my mouth.
