Happy Birthday Bill Murray!

Somewhere 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.

Äh dies könnte der erste des letzten Tages meines vorletzten m-m-m-meines lebens versteht ihr? Oder der vorletzte des ersten am letzten Tags meines. Äh-äh. Ich hab ein Problem.

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.

We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that's part of your obligation.

When you see grown men near to tears because they've missed hitting a little white ball into a hole from three feet, it makes you laugh.

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.

The 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.

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.

I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.

When I work, my first relationship with people is professional.

Don't think about your errors or failures; otherwise, you'll never do a thing.

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.

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

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

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

Sometimes I snore, like when I get really tired.

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

Parties are only bad when a fight breaks out, when men fight over women or vice versa. Someone takes a fall, an ambulance comes, and the police arrive. If you can avoid those things, pretty much all behaviour is acceptable.

I throw a Christmas party at my house. It's not really a Christmas party, because I don't want to call it a Christmas party. But let's just say I put a lot of Christmas trees around the house, so it smells good.

I think all phases of one's career are serious if you take it seriously no matter if you are doing high profile dramatic pieces or not.

The studios don't seem to foster good writing. They're not so interested in that, but they're more interested in what worked most recently. They're definitely very serious about making money, and that's not a wrong thing, but you don't have to make money the same way all the time.

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.

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.

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

I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.

There's only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing. Sometimes you can avoid a traffic violation. But the only time it really matters is in the emergency room with your kids. That's when you want to be noticed, because it's very easy to get forgotten in an ER.
