Bill Murray Quotes

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 Murray

Life, Family, Lonely

In Japan, you have no idea what they are saying, and they can't help you either. Nothing makes any sense. They're very polite, but you feel like a joke is being played on you the entire time you're there.
Bill Murray

Time, Help, Nothing

Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
Bill Murray

Nothing, Anyone, Awards

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.
Bill Murray

Famous, Money, End

People say I'm difficult and sometimes that's a badge of honour.
Bill Murray

Sometimes, Difficult, Honour

Bill Murray

Career, Serious, Matter

Bill Murray

Used, Reading, Actually

While I have felt lonely many times in my life, the oddest feeling of all was after my mother, Lucille, died. My father had already died, but I always had some attachment to our big family while she was alive. It seems strange to say now that I felt so lonely, yet I did.
Bill Murray

Life, Family, Mother

And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working.
Bill Murray

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

I went to Second City, where you learned to make the other actor look good so you looked good and National Lampoon, where you had to create everything out of nothing, and SNL, where you couldn't make any mistakes, and you learned what collaboration was.
Bill Murray

Good, Mistakes, Nothing

I'm a nut, but not just a nut.
Bill Murray

People only talk about what a joyous experience it is, but there is terror: Your life, as you know it, is over. It's over the day that child is born. It's over, and something completely new starts.
Bill Murray

Life, Experience, Talk

Sometimes I snore, like when I get really tired.
Bill Murray

Tired, Sometimes, Snore

When the phone started ringing too many times, I had to take it back to what I can handle. I take my chances on a job or a person as opposed to a situation. I don't like to have a situation placed over my head.
Bill Murray

Job, Person, Times

Whenever I think of the high salaries we are paid as film actors, I think it is for the travel, the time away, and any trouble you get into through being well known. It's not for the acting, that's for sure.
Bill Murray

Time, Travel, Through

All of us kids ended up 'doing Mom.' There are four of us who've tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun, who does liturgical dance.
Bill Murray

Business, Mom, Dance

But I can only take so much TV, because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet, how to live your life, how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls.
Bill Murray

Life, Diet, Live

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.
Bill Murray

Play, Rather, Comedy

Here's the thing, you just have to drive a lot faster, and if you don't get there, we're both fired.
Bill Murray

Here, Both, Drive

Bill Murray

Tough, Old, Themselves

I don't know how this guy knew how much money I was making. I didn't know how much money I was making.
Bill Murray

Money, Making, Guy

I don't want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar.

Bill Murray

Home, Done, Actually
