- Bill Murray is asked what he wants that he doesn't yet have. His answer is honest, candid, and resonates with many of us. This is an excerpt and the full 53 minute length interview can be found here. charlierose.com/videos/17807
I love the way the interviewer lets him speak, especially when he pauses to think, rather than needing to fill the dead air.
we need charlie rose back :-(
great observation.
@@lvglec thanks
Well... i believe a couple of woman may want to say something about that.
The interviewer is Charlie Rose and he is one of the best there is for a very long time
I talked to my Dad (84 years old) over Facetime a couple months ago and he told me that he'd lived his life and that if he went out tomorrow, he'd be cool with that. I said to him that he shouldn't be talking crazy as he could live until he's 100 (like Bill Murray says he wants to in this video) and he laughed and said 'oh no, I surely don't want that!'. He just wasn't enjoying the process of getting old. Two weeks later, he died suddenly and peacefully, with no real underlying illness. Everyone has their own wish as to how long they want to stay or in what manner they want to leave this earth and I'm glad that my Dad got his. Thanks for everything Dad.
Amazing
You are a good son, Sean. May the universe continue to smile upon YOU!!
Sounds like a great man.
@@dougstyles Thanks Doug, he was. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of his death. Still feel really lucky that he got to leave on his terms as he had well above the average amount of tragedy in his life.
@@seancullen99 My Pops is hanging tough but has COPD and keeps smoking. He's in Florida, I'm in Az but I get down there at least once a yr to see him. I dont even ask him to stop smoking anymore, may as well let him enjoy himself. He served in the Navy and grew up in NYC. He survived all of that so he deserves to go on his terms. It's not easy but life rarely is. Take care Sean.
Bill Murray as he ages still has a childlike mischief in the eyes, added now to the wisdom of his years. A true legend and comic genius
Very good observation
I love how Charlie gives Bill certain moments to organize his thoughts and not be rushed.
That's a skill many could use in conversation. I used to be so hot to get my thoughts out there. I started hanging around with a man who's thoughts, while not necessarily being an oratory, took time to form. And they were always worth hearing. Now, I try to always give others the time they need in conversation..as the rewards of hearing them out are often worth the wait.
Yup. I miss Charlie. He got cancelled.
Yes I noticed this too. He knew the exact time to be silent and leave space - that is an art! I'd love to see this whole interview.
Very good analysis
Rare for him
I met Bill Murray once when I worked for a 4 star hotel. I didn't notice him at first glance but when I came upon him I said hay Bill, and he actually said hay how's it going? I was surprised a bit and alittle overwhelmed because that was the first time I ever saw a famous actor in real time. He talked to me very calmly just like in this video and I just talked to him like an ordinary person. He's a really cool guy. I was too embarrassed to ask for a autograph since he spent like 10 minutes talking to me. I did mention that I loved his movie "what about Bob" and he smiled from ear to ear. He said to me, well judging by your age I thought you would've said "Caddy Shack" He actually said that to me! Awesome fellow..
Would love to meet him. There a documentary about people meeting Bill and there experiences. Don't remember the name
Kevin Smith check out the Netflix documentary on him. It confirms your experience. Now when I come to an impasse I ask myself WWBMD? Happier and more alive than I’ve ever been. Bill is zen.
You and I are the only ones who liked the movie. So many haters wanted a bunch of slapstick... His movies speak to deep thinkers
@@uprightfossil6673 grew up with his movies. I'm a movies guy. I love all genres.. Well most. But Bill is my guy.. Loved his older comedy. But I really enjoy his dramatic roles when he does do them. Lost in Translation. That had so much.. Just my opinion as Punksatony Phill
Ps spring will come
He quite literally had a wake up call that he should do more with his life.

How is existentialism only a first world problem? Finding meaning is something everyone may face.
It s no more, it just be.
And perhaps we all should.
@The Rockall Times some give up all those things to find meaning like monks, yogis and jesus. Food is necessary but food doesnt take away spiritual hunger. Seekers fast and try to conquer senses and emotions that they could see beyond physical. There is the light and we are mirror that reflect it but mirror is covered in dirt and dust. Clean the mirror and see the light.
He's saying he wants to be more present. He's not saying he wants to necessarily do more.
I recently dealt with a mental illness that nearly became a disorder, and Bill Murray described that state of mind perfectly. Stress and anxiety can cloud your mind to the point that your not present or even alive. Only to live within whatever you're thinking about. It's depressing and miserable because you want to live but your simply "not here" which is why I started seeing a therapist and it changed my life.
You are what you dwell on.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Yes, but with depression the order is different. The illness creates the ruminating, and clinical depression is hell on earth. A maze you can’t get out of. You can’t make the agitating motor stop. And the body can become almost catatonic. And it certainly does make you believe the worst. In fact it will try to kill you that way. It can be subtle, or extremely aggressive in the mind even as you fight it, your voice gets smaller. It leads one there. Very dangerous.
@@DreamsSketcher
Simple put, going through a black hole with tunnel vision.
Thanks so much for explaining just in words how I’ve felt the last 2 years
Bill is talking about addiction to drugs and alcohol. You all are clueless.
This is the reason I rewatch "Groundhogs Day" every year. Bill Murray actually understands it.
I don't watch it every year but it's a bloody good movie!
NIN - Every day is exactly the same. =)
I watched Groundhog Day just yesterday. That movie will be around for a very long time because it's so spiritual & philosophical while at the same time it's a comedy. I mean, what would you do if you were livin' the same day over & over again? I know I'd be tempted to push the envelope more, to break the rules more & to definitely take more chances.
I've seen it about 4 or 5 times. I've heard that some consider it the best movie ever made.
I watch it 4 times a year!
That Clint Eastwood movie was Unforgiven.
"Its a hell of a thing killing a man. You take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have."
I've often thought about that line. It certainly struck me at the time I first saw it. There's a Monkees song ---yes, I'm bringing up the Monkees in this serious chat---written by Micky Dolenz call IT'S MY LIFE. The lyrics echo much of what this conversation is about, or st least touches on similar areas. It's a good, self-examining song that could only have been written as you grow older and reflect on where you've been and where you're going, and how you want to proceed. And it's hopeful. (So, in one small step I've managed a giant leap---from Clint Eastwood to The Monkees, a journey that's sort of, metaphorically, the distance equivalent of that between the Moon and the Earth)

" WE ALL GOT IT COMIN KID "
Some of the funniest men carry with them very dark memories and most are exceptional at understanding the human condition. Bill is truly a genius.
So true
McGyver - Yeah? What very dark memories does Bill have?
To know what makes humans laugh is to know what makes them cry, as well. The best comedians are practically part psychologists. It may not be an instant tragedy, sometimes it could be past bullying, abuse, even the suicide of a friend. Hell, Fred Rogers was bullied as a child for being overweight, and that gave him an overview of life that guided him through good times and bad. Those who knew him personally would tell you he would've actually been a great stand up comedian had he chosen to. Men like Bill Murray get the human condition. They don't have to always smile on the outside, as long as they can smile at themselves 🇵🇷🇺🇸😉
McGyver777ATGMAIL funny/clever people are often the most smart. They have such an understanding of life/ people/ reality/ human nature that they can be understand situations and think quickly.
The other side of that is smart people are often depressed or saddened or deal with some other sort of torment. Because ignorance is bliss and the smarter you are the less bliss you are afforded.
Ernie Kovaks, Sid Ceaser, Bill Murray, ... Most great comedians have darkness on their souls.
He seems so NOT Hollywood. God bless him for that, he's a real person.
It's all the Chicagoan in him. We are a blunt, upfront no bullshit kind of people 🤣.
I think that is part of the reason he got so popular back when I was younger. Always seemed like your average joe. Funny as hell. Hair never perfect like Hollywood stars. Face never perfect etc. Always just a down to earth dude on and off the screen. Real people relate to that. Same with jhon candy. Dan akroyd. Robin William's. The list goes on. All seemed like regular people on and off screen that never let fame go to their heads.
He's not for sale so people will do everything to work for him.
Sophia Coppola is an amazing collaborator.
@@talkinsmak - it's part of why Will Ferrell is a hoot. They even make fun of his homely appeal in The Other Guys. "So why are you with Alan? I mean... uh that's not what I meant..."

The way he paused and closed his eyes tells me that he really reflected on his answer before saying it out loud. 👍
He is an actor who is a male human...any choices made or spoken include those habits

@@holysecret2 It is possible I do not understand what an "interview" is, the definition, the
dynamics of such an activity.
The person interacting in this event, the one with the name of Bill Murray...is an actor.
At no time does a person who is an actor other than when employed to do so use
such a skill set...?
You know. This interview makes me realize how much this man and his movies and characters have had an imprint on my life. When Mr. Murray does finally pass on. I will be sad. I will shed a tear. Live long Mr. Murray and be present and available and the right causes will call you. Cheers.
Honestly the real star here is Charlie Rose and his interview style. Look how close he sits to Bill, right in front of him too. He askes the right questions, waits the right amount of time for the next question. His professionalism and honesty is what puts Bill at ease to give us such great answers.
He really is taking on a beautiful zen quality as he gets older. It warms me to listen to him.
There's people criticizing cause he got money, he look "weird" and wanna be "deep", etc... come on, a little empathy. What he said is meaningful and connects with many people out there.
Some people enjoy being miserable and looking for the negative in everything. Perhaps it's them that need to hear his words the most. ;)
@@Rustbukkit69 Totally agree, dude.
I wouldn’t judge too harshly mate, you either understand exactly where he’s coming from or you think it’s bullshit
A good number of people just lack the framework to understand what he's even talking about. It's really too bad, they're busy chasing after something that will never make them happy. Happiness is always right here.
@@JESUSbePRAISED - Do you have evidence of any charges laid against the man? a citation would be greatly appreciated.

@Marty McFly II you seem to be a really great fan of mine. Where are you from?
Hello Jocelyn, you have a good heart. I guess you must be a great woman with a very great sense of humor. I will like to get in touch with you 🙏
Love this guy. One of the most genuine actors I've seen. Go on Bill. Do a few more please!
I've loved him since I was a kid back in the 80's. He shaped the sense of humor that I still have to this day, the man is a treasure.
Sharon Jensen That was a good movie! I’d forgotten about it. Thanks for the great memories. I love Bill Murray 👍
He’s always been one of my favorites. I love absurd sort of random humor
The truth and reality of his words cut me like a knife.
Yeah bill is good people I think, never met him obviously but I believe it.
@Delon Duvenage
I always appreciate the words of older people but,being able to spend a few hours talking with him would definitely change my life for the better.
He's a 'good' actor if he can make you cry...or cry himself automatically.
This 'actor' is describing the moral of the story of "Groundhog Day". His mannerisms are curiously the same.
Only to operate ... Then stitch it up and heal
Betsy Lindsay --I love that he’s talking about all of us, being real with everyone we’ve met, rather than rushing thru everything we do, not meeting our own eyes much less other people. Lovely.
The best friend in the world is the one who listens to your 40 minute long drunken midnight phone calls...

Why would you want a crazy uncle.. I think I am that uncle
He's my american uncle since 84.

I love this answer. One of my biggest fears is not necessarily growing old, but feeling old. Tired, hopeless, alone, and theres nothing left for me to do worth doing. As long as I have my youth within me, I shouldn't be afraid.
And the childlike nature whether, be some of the innocence, curiosity, play or care free nature is hat I’m trying to get back to in some ways. So I don’t fall into deep sadness or melocholy, stress as you get older
I 100% love Bill Murray. He's one of the all time greats. I remember one time Sunday Morning on cbs did a piece on him. He had nothing going on in his life (no new movie, no new book). He literally just called the show and said why don't you bring your cameras and come visit and they did. And it was a great and fun piece. He's just such a funny and interesting guy and I have been a fan forever.
this person is aging like a normal man. Without plastic, without becoming a "monster".
A lot of respect for such a person.
yea but kinda aging horribly...reminds me of a song lyric..'hope I die before I get old'
Not into plastic surgery etc, but watching what I eat, drink plenty of water, exercise. If things really go down hill, probably become a recluse...
Interesting how people frown on cosmetic surgery yet approve of dental whitening kits, braces, sun tanning, toupee/wigs, body hair grooming/waxing/laser regimens, weight-training regimens, tattoos, piercings, circumcision, wart removal, anti-wrinkle/anti-acne/anti-pigmentation skin care products, hair dyes and makeup. Such curious double standards. So long as Bill shaves, dyes and trims his hair, whitens his teeth, and covers up unsightly age-spots...he's apparently aging "authentically" because a scalpel wasn't involved. 🙄
He is aging like a drug addict not a normal man. I know farmers in their 70's that look 20 years younger than Bill.
@@williambrandondavis6897 hes 70 now.. he also had acne scarring as which definitely add to it.. he isn't extremely attractive actor so I think people judge him worse

Unforgiven* but yes
So ... you re-quote a quote... Wow... Who killed you?
Yes, that line and when the kid says he reckons he had it comin'. "We all have it coming kid..."
We love Bill Murray because he can be openminded without letting his brain drop out.
What a great answer. I’m in my mid 60’s now, and this response has incredible meaning.

@@gerrynightingale9045 your mistaken. The Romans kept detailed records of many crucifixions, Jesus was one of them. The Koran also mentioned Jesus. Also, they recently demolished a prison in israel and underneath the floor was an ancient mosaic detailing some part of Jesus' life. BTW, his name was Yeshua, so your looking in the wrong place. Take care.
I'm gonna cry, man. This hit in a special place in my heart.
What an incredible guy. He plays at the Pebble Beach Pro Am Golf Tourney every winter and frequents a little family run restaurant in the next town over on the Peninsula. He struck up a friendship with the owner and his family that has stuck. The owners daughter told us Bill sends the family a Christmas card every year and includes a personal note to her every year asking how she was doing in school and now her career (in art). Has been going on for a decade or more. An amazing human being. What other motion picture icon would ever do that?
His character in " What about Bob?" was certainly in the moment!
I loved that movie 🎥
“The more you know who you are the less you things affect you”
In answering this question I think he achieved that present moment. Lovvvved this.
How meditative. I remember being a kid and noticing people who didn't know someone was watching them, then they would interact with someone and you could see a switch in their eyes. They would go from their "true self" in a moment of solitude to a curated image they thought others wanted to see. A softness and kindness would give way to a fake smile or excitedness. I wondered why people just didn't stay the same, what was this change in demeanor all about? Bill does a great job staying emotionally true even in his movies
The part about Belushi was poingnant. It's been so long since he died, and he still thinks of him. I'm glad we didn't lose Bill in the '80s as well.
Yes, I miss Belushi.

Life has meaning? Life does not have meaning?
So far, we haven't found life anywhere else but here. Further, no species comes close to the level of cognitive ability humans have attained. And that, in a very, very short period of time.
Universe, 13.77 billion years old. Human beings, about 250,000 years old.
In a cosmological instant, we exploded upon the earth, filling every corner, modifying the planet's structure, extracting material from it, formed mass communication networks, discovered secrets of the mechanics of nature, used it to invent things that can obliterate all life thousands of times over, beamed our location out into the darkness of space, launched humans into that darkness, built machines circling the planet....
...all in a cosmological instant. If you were watching the formulation of the Universe, you'd EASILY miss us. It happens so fast.
Regardless of gods, regardless of souls, regardless of good or evil, right or wrong. We are significant. In a fundamentally extraordinary way.
So in light of that, consider, then, what we do to one another.
Bill Murray is the epitome of fame who is not full of one's self, no plastic surgery, no Botox, no self-depreciation....just mellows like a fine wine and appreciates himself but yet humble. I'm sure he's wild at parties yet down to earth when ya call him. We long to be Bill Murray.
You do. He couldn't give a sh!t about you. And I think hes well overrated.
Love Bill, a profound person, so real. Needed to hear this interview message at this point in my life. Ty
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!

***** Well, it didn't take much to reverse your empty little hippy platitudes did it?
NoRosesForMe I like Bill Murrays work, but as a human being I think he kinda sucks. There's that footage of him where he's up for some award and when he loses, instead of clapping the winner graciously, he just sits there looking poisonous, like the most entitled dickhead imaginable. There's also his weird behavior towards Harold Ramis when making Groundhog Day, and just lots of other little stories of him being completely up his own arse. As far as hippies go, I'm kind of one myself in many ways, but I cannot abide how a lot of them spout the most turgid, empty banalities concerning their internet-assembled spirituality. It makes me want to throw up up, frankly. Peace.
Polecat Slam yeah him and ramus got into it.. you've never had that happen in life?? i've lost many a friends... but the fact is.. bill murray thinks award shows are stupid.. and hes right.
LastbutNotFirst Of course he's allowed to think that, but it showed zero class not to grit his teeth and applaud the winner, and if he hates it so much, he shouldn't have shown up there. From what I read about the Ramis thing, he just randomly threw out a long term friendship which they never really reconciled, much to Ramis' confusion. I know all that's not really anyone elses business, I'm just saying the guy strikes me as a bit of a weirdo/narcissist.
A real person like him is rare these days. Genuine.
I know... probably why he's suffering. Whenever I meet a genuine person nowadays, they seem miserable to me.
I love Bill Murray. I completely feel what he is saying here. I hope to achieve it one day.
He's a profoundly beautiful human being. What else can be said?
He could have said yes to ghost busters 3 before disappointing the actor who plays egon and having him die in despair of Murray rejection and then made the world suffer with the crappy female version.
@@uncreativeranter he didnt die from that rejection, Harold Ramis (egon) understood that murray didnt want then franchise to fail and felt that a 3rd movie wouldn't do well

@@ianmatthews1724 to be honest i do as well i didnt want one of the classic favourites to be ruined by yet another sequel
@@uncreativeranter because he Probably knew it would be shit at least he’s in the newest one though
He's such a thoughtful, sweet man. I pray he finds his peace and keeps doing what he loves.
My interpretation of Bill's answer is that generally people stroll through life, unaware that we are actually alive, distracted by things like our jobs, families, money etc. Bill would like to just feel more aporia time of being alive in the moment and not be thinking about the future or the past, but to be in the moment for as long as possible. For instance if I were to tell you to live in the moment right now, you'll appreciate life right now because I planted the idea on your mind, but you will forget this later and go off and do something else to occupy your time. Bill wants to feel that appreciation and contentment of life for longer without distraction.
There is a difference though between, being content with where you are now and using that as a justification to not strive for anything vs. Being content that you are on a path with goals in mind.
It's just Christianity. Exactly what I have found with Christ.
For some reason, Charlie Rose makes me nervous. Meanwhile, Bill Murray is so calming and has the most soothing voice.
That sounds like it makes sense. At the risk of oversimplifying: Rose, the journalist, roots around for the juicy "goss," gravitating toward wherever the heat is. Murray, the entertainer, has chosen the vocational calling of pleasing people's spirits. Both of them commanding the attention of the masses through separate tactics.
Understand. if were your a pretty woman, a totally different story. 🤣. It’s sad that Charlie was naughty towards those women. Charlie is a great interviewer. 👍🏿
That was 5 minutes very well spent, much respect for both those guys. Thanks for posting it.

"Be here now." A very enlightening book & quote from Ram Das.
Aaron Morris I think.........., therefore I drink.
Greg Gallacci Damone, from "Fast Times at Ridgmont High" " where ever you're at, thats the place to be."
Aaron Morris it's like "What are you doing? Planning for the future? WELL IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW. But later... Forget it baby that's later. Now is NOW. Are you going to be here or not? It's as simple as that."
leggless mikki mouse and a pretty decent Oasis album, imo
I personally suffer from a disease of looking away. If you break that word disease “dis+ease” to be “distance-from-ease” it really makes sense. When many of us are suffering from this distance from ease we are in our disease and coping with it through addiction in all forms. Some reach for the pill, the drink, their phone, relationships, sex, food. All of these things are well and all, but I find that when I am using these means, either consciously or subconsciously, to escape this uneasiness that this distance from ease brings me, then I am living at a frequency of addiction. I’m looking for the same thing Bill’s looking for. How to stay in but not give in, how to escape without looking away. I feel you Bill.
I'm so blown away by this guy. NOT your typical Hollywood celeb at all. A real decent guy.
No, I would expect this level of thought and self-awareness from Bill Murray. Good on the interviewer to get it out of him, he's usually got his BS shields up when dealing with media types. I think he really considers himself as an outsider, not really fitting in with the mob.
My first jolt of this guy's genius was Lost In Translation, what a great film. For me it put all of his previous work in a light I had not realised til then. Such a great person, he deserves to be happy.
nicely said!
Ishka Bibble "the interviewer" is Charlie Rose and he's a legend
Ishka Bibble "I think he really considers himself as an outsider, not really fitting in with the mob..." Yes!
Ishka Bibble Lost in Translation was a total failure of a film.
Ishka Bibble Awesome comment.
Lost in Translation was a great movie and carried the same mood.
Yupp. Even easier to watch with a beaut like scarlett in it ..
Excellent point. I've struggled to put my finger on what's happening in that movie - to articulate why it's so deeply compelling. I think you've done precisely that with your comment.
Yes. The characters in "Lost In Translation" are lost and yearning for some meaning. And they find it for a couple of days and become fully alive. And then it passes. It's beautiful, melancholic, transient and uplifting. I don't think Bill and Scarlett have been in anything better. It caught them both at exactly the right time.
I thought it was extremely boring, however, I find him really interesting here. I love him in other movies, I guess these things are subjective. Glad you liked it though. Variety is the spice of life.
@@BeatPoet67 Lost in Translation wasn't uplifting for me, it punched a hole in me for a day or two. It's all subjective of course. Similar to Romeo & Juliet; La La Land was different because they spent years together, but it also had that same feeling.
It’s been a pleasure to spend the same moments on this earth along side bill murray.
What a delightful smile Bill has. When he said "to be HERE", I wonder if that meant to be available, to himself and to other people. In the present. I read that he had a rough childhood, as the "forgotten child" of a large family, and that his parents were largely un-available to him. Very telling. Wonderful.
Groundhog Day made him an eternal Zen Master.
A fantastic and underappreciated film.
Abram Despain I just tried to watch that again the othere day. Something wrong so I did not get any picture. I just listened. I've seen it so many times already. So many golden nuggets of wisdom in there. Wouldn't it be amazing if we ALL were allowed to reach our full potential? Life would be truly beautiful and we'd stop hurting our planet.
If you like Groundhog Day's message try Bedazzled with Brendan Fraser, same director with similar message in mind and great acting by Fraser
Stefano, Where the Buffalo Roam 1980.
must see this
"Undivided attention." So easy to say---so hard to do.
its easy! I mean just the other week...shit, hang on, theres someone at the door BRB!
So hard to even want to do.
im very glad I heard this.Being in the moment. It was a good reminder for me. Thank you Mr. murray

I don't know how I ended up at this video but it feels like i was supposed to.
Ben NCM Isnt that always the case?
Not at all
Probably because I listened to another Murray interview so this came up on "recommended".
Ben NCM same here brother
I ponder this too. I sat there and pondered about the problem of distractions in my life, got an "its cold outside" message from a coworker, posted a groundhog day link to FB and found this diamond of clip. which fitted my first pondering perfectly :O
Thank you for that reference. I never doubted Bill Murray had serious depth, but I'd never heard him express it so completely as here. I really enjoyed this.
His smiles and his pauses and then when Bill speaks there’s feeling and depth, that’s what I hear. Just starting to watch Groundhog Day now :)
One of my favourite people on the planet
Charlie Rose was a great interviewer.
He is an interrupting nitwit. I wonder if he interrupted all the women he molested.
i agree 1000 percent. cant really think of other american interviewers that actually ask intelligent questions while remaining personal. such a shame that a lot of talented people turn out to be creeps
@@Stinkbug08 really? You can't?
In the one with George Lucas he was very obnoxious
People spend lifetimes searching for presence. The Eternal Now. That being said, is it just me or are they sitting way too close to each other? hehe
Seems like it'd be interesting if two people did an interview with their faces like no more than a foot away from each other, with eyes locked. lol. That'd be difficult..
See - THATS funny. Probably a camera thing
its just the pandemic rules messing with ya. lol
yea, that dangling foot of charley's is awkwardly close to bill's crotch in the pull away...
Funny seeing you here, love your vids! I think I’ll be one of those people, because ultimately presence is when you enjoy life to the fullest.
Congratulations Charlie for not interrupting at points where Bill was deeply probing his subconscious to express himself. Points that unaware people would call "slow". And thank you Bill for your open spirit.
You can't be normal and dislike Bill Murray.
I think you're right...Bill Murray is to the Baby Boomers what Jimmy Stewart was to the 40s.
normal......?come again.
Sure you can.
what if im not normal and i like him?
Then you're like me.
His portrayal in Lost In Translation is just phenomenal. I’m sure a lot of us fellas can relate to that brilliant and touching movie.
Beautiful movie.
"Broken Flowers" too. Totally underrated performance.
Biker Bytes Lost in Translation is a shit movie! I want my 2 hrs back. FUCK THAT MOVIE! Biggest pile of worthless shit! You sir have no taste!
@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 what did you not enjoy about it..
@@louiereed829 All of it. It seemed like such a pointless nothing of value movie. Murry's character had nothing going on. The young woman had nothing going on. It was like the most boring few days of two boring peoples lives that was going nowhere. I'd rather watch white paint dry on a white wall. At least there is hope to paint that wall with some interesting colors once it drys. This movie leaves everything else to desire besides the movie. Somebody should put a few hundred bullets in this movie so it dies and is never resurrected for any reason. I went to Vegas for a week once and I'm not famous and my time in Vegas was way more interesting then this movie. I didn't even do that much well in Vegas but each day was more interesting then anything that happened the entire time in this movie. Guess I should write parts of my life into scripts in one week long increments. I have many days and weeks of my life that were more interesting then this movie. A movie should never be less interesting then peoples real lives.
Thank you, Charlie, for giving us this fantastic interview of Bill. Bill was such a funny comic and good person.
Bruh he ain’t dead
Even though they make us laugh, comedians always seem to be the most genuine... and have such substantive commentary. Love this guy!!
He seems so relaxed, it's kind of inspiring actually.
"it's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have" - Clint Eastwood, Unforgiven.
The most profound movie line, I'll always remember it.
My favorite line from that movie was, "We all got it comin', kid."
His humor has always implied and played off the depth and thoughtfulness that he inhabits so naturally and gracefully. He doesn't have to fake it or play morose when he's not being funny (like some comedians). He gets it at the most fundamental level that the sublime and ridiculous live next door to each other and make out daily.
He's given so many of us the Gift of Laughter when nobody else could even make us smile. And he's NOT full of himself. What a combination.
Thank you Mr. Murray
those who have had a glimpse of the fleeting, yet blissful, glowing exuberant state of consciousness which exists when you let go of the superficial trappings of life may understand what he's talking about...'being here'...'in the moment', is being at peace. That's not an easy thing to hold on to...
+Pharaoh Cypher Buddhism at its best...the ones that comes from experience
+Matt Moves it doesn't require buddhism - as buddhists also retreat from the world.
+Matt Moves I think the effects of the "superficiality" of many of our everyday lives is what Murray talks about when he catches himself in the mirror as you are almost wearing a mask and not being true to yourself.
MrDOB1000 Buddhism is not about retreating from the world, is about to live your life as simple as you can.
+Matt Moves no it's not, you don't really know what buddhism is then. they deny reality as we know it as an illusion. it's about abstinence and not just simplicity. I studied it in university.
That is some extremely skilled interviewing.. Knowing exactly when to speak and when to let the interviewee speak. It's because of guys like that that we get speeches like this from time to time. In a world where everyone is yelling over one another because they think THEIR thoughts are more important... Sometimes to just stop and listen like this even though it seems so simple is amazing.
the funniest thing is how close the chairs are
This man is a legend- always a great presence.
Interesting presence, a good presence
This is not surprising. Bill has always been a very thoughtful and insightful man. His choices in movies have almost always reflected that
Yeah, because his accidental choice to voice Garfield was an insightful role for him.
+RetroArcadeMonkey that was for the money. He is a business man after all. But the fact that he regretted that, also proves my point
+Michael Felix he's a standup guy
+Michael Felix you're almost right but you've got the names mixed up. He thought it was written by Joel Coen of the Coen Brothers(Fargo, Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading, etc.) but it was really Joel Cohen(Cheaper By The Dozen, Daddy Day Care, etc.)
It's hard to believe we now live in an era where Bill Murray is old.
I really don't think so. He looked kinda old in Groundhog day and that was almost 30 years ago. He's "only" 70 now, which is old, but for a "nearly old person" almost 30 years ago, I'd say 70 now is better than most people would think. Not sure if that made sense.
@King White Knight Well I guess it's all relative. 8 years from average death. I'd say old but whatevs
@King White Knight neat
@King White Knight oof. u 2 dum
@King White Knight dude, you are cringe as fuck
What a great clip. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bill. Thank you for being so honest & truthful. No BS, just how it is. If you ever get a chance to visit Perth in our lifetimes, I'd love to have you stay with me & my two, wonderful adult children. We'd be honoured to host you. xx
It’s taken me to 70 something to feel like I am really here and love it,
I used to work in a health food store and Bill Murray popped in one day and I helped him do his grocery shopping. Super cool, low-key guy.
Wilkemusic Where was that?
Yeah, I remember coming in that day. You said you were going to make up a story about Bill Murray coming in, and he asking to help him shop! Well, except you left out the part about the kielbasa in the walk in freezer.
I watched various videos on UA-cam, and more or less "stumbled" into this interview with Bill Murray, and what thoughts it gave me ...
How inspiring it was ...
Wise man that Bill ...
//The Bear from Kalmar, Sweden
The razor's edge of life experience, hard to stay there for long. a honest fine goal.
I can relate.. I wish I'd spend less time feeling like being on auto-pilot, taking things for granted that have become "trivial" with age. I wish I could feel more present - I wish I could be more me, instead of giving answers and showing feelings that are "acceptable" to give and show. I wish there weren't so many days that to me seem like "just another day", when infact not very far in the future, I will run out of days.
I think this everytime I see my little boy asleep. I kick myself in the ass and say...don't waste any of this time you dumbass...these memories only happen once. Today we are so full of work, and money matters, government this and that, and trying to find a moment to sleep or be amused with something. Gotta keep the focus...life slips by like a paper boat in a rainstorm...
Same thing happens to me with my daughter. I look at her playing (she's almost 3 yo), and realize that this moment will never happen again. She will never have 3 again, nor will have that pure innocence look on her eyes. It is empowering and at the same time frightening to realize this. You want to squeeze every second of that moment, and all of a sudden your cellphone doesn't matter, your job doesn't matter. Everything is less important when you face that reality. And the same thing will happen to us on our deathbed. Imagine that moment, imagine that you're in your bed, dying, and you have just a few hours left to live. What's really important now? Your family, your friends, your love. What are your regrets? Not having money? fuck money. You will regret not having done that, or loved that girl, or hugged your wife/daughter a little longer. Not saying "I love you" enough.
Keep this things in your mind. Love, hug, say "I love you" often. Do what you want to do, even if it's frightening. These are the only thins you'll regret not to have done when you're about to die.
"not very far in the future, I will run out of days..." That hit me hard. Well said.
@Australiantatious Yes, I certainly have. Why do you ask?
But then again, what does love and friendships matter if everything and everyone returns to dust? They are really as meaningless as the things you mention like money and career and status. Nothing we say or do matters after we're dead and the ones we loved are dead and nobody will remember or care a hundred years after you're gone.
Bill's a smart guy. I think he's talking over the interviewer's head. It's like he's trying to capture the perfect words to get his point across, but he's having a difficult time of it. HE knows what he means.
How’s he talking over the interviewers head if he doesn’t have the vocabulary to express his thoughts?
I think the interviewer perfectly understood him???
He is self aware
laynebrock True. That’s not what I took away from this and Bill Murray’s humility is part of what make him so relatable.
rklewis2 Bill looked for the words in the wonderful silence, the needed and respected silence...but make no mistake, we know what he means and this superb interviewer understood him perfectly
He sounds like he’s describing disassociation which is something I struggle with every day. One of my favorite actors.
Speaking of being in the moment and remembering encouragements you've received, Bill commented on one of my videos once and I'll never forget it. I love me some Bill Murray. I should strive to be in the moment more, like him. I've watched Groundhog day every year since the Day it was released in the theater, and Lost in Translation is my favorite movie, among others. Such a real guy.
I was obsessed with Lost in Translation for a time. I watched it every time it came on TV, which was a lot at the time. I really don't know what it was about that movie that drew me in, but I'm pretty sure it was Bill's performance. I was sorry he didn't win the Oscar for it.
Now this seems like a real interview talking about relevant things.
