The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Billy Murray

  • If you walk up to some random person on the street, grab them by the shoulder, and say ‘Did you just see what I saw?!’….you’ll find that no one wants to talk to you.
  • The truth is, anybody that becomes famous is an ass for a year and a half. You’ve got to give them a year and a half, two years. They are getting so much smoke blown, and their whole world gets so turned upside down, their responses become distorted. I give everybody a year or two to pull it together because, when it first happens, I know how it is.
  • There 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.
  • I’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. The nice thing is that I’m over here in Europe making a movie and so I don’t need to worry about it.
  • You know the theory of cell irritability?. If you take an amoeba cell and poke it a thousand times, it will change and then re-form into its original shape. And then, the thousandth time you poke this amoeba, the cell will completely collapse and become nothing. That’s kind of what it’s like being famous. People say hi, how are you doing, and after the thousandth time, you just get angry; you really pop.
  • It was cool that an Oscar nomination never happened for a long time, and then it was cool that it did happen. But I don’t want to always be feeling this thing in my chest like, ‘Am I good enough? Am I gonna be rejected?’
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.
  • I’ve had some success in movies, so I really don’t think about success. You like to have it, but I’m not desperate for it.
