I am engaged all the time. I\u2019m not complaining about it because I hate people that complain about it, but I don\u2019t walk down the street the way that you can walk down the street. I walk down the street, and people go, \u201cHey you.\u201d I miss walking down the street like you walk down the street. I miss it, but it\u2019s never coming back. So I deal. Most people, I have an OK experience with. Some people you have a spectacular experience with. But my percentages are no different than yours. If you meet a hundred people, I meet a thousand people. Out of your 100, 75 of them are kind of forgettable, right? Maybe 80. Then there\u2019s a handful that are wonderful, and then there\u2019s a handful that are unpleasant and miserable. I have the same numbers. I just have lots more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">The inability to walk down the street anonymously, how did you figure out how to manage that?<\/strong> It\u2019s a continuous process. It is not like, Oh, I figured that one out, because I\u2019m not the same person now that I was 20 minutes ago. I\u2019m not. You can have a different point of view about it. You can hide from people. I\u2019ve walked down the street with a hat down over my head, glasses on my eyes. I loved Covid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Because you could disappear? <\/strong>Because I could walk down the street with a mask on my face. It was fantastic. But I\u2019ve been all kinds of ways about it, and it\u2019s a continuing development. I used to spend so much energy. People would say, \u201cCan I take your picture?\u201d And I would be the kind of ass that would say, \u201cIt\u2019s \u2018<em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">May<\/em> I take your picture?\u2019\u201d Do you know how many times I said that to no avail? Absolutely no avail. But I wasted a whole lot of time that way, doing stuff to make it acceptable on my stupid terms, trying to make life more like I like it. What a screw head. So now what I do for a living is, I take cellphone photographs. I\u2019m not an actor. I am a donkey that is photographed with people who don\u2019t know how to operate their own cellphone camera. That\u2019s what I do all day long. I don\u2019t regret it. I don\u2019t resent it. This is what I do, and it\u2019s so simple, and I\u2019ve realized how much energy I was wasting resisting it. It was just crazy, and when it finally hit me, I went: Oh, my God, what a jerk. How could you have been a jerk for that long? [Murray tears up.]<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Have you found a way to get fulfillment out of this new job that you have? Also, you got teary-eyed. I didn\u2019t mean to touch a nerve.<\/strong> It\u2019s not so much fulfilling. I\u2019ve gotten pretty good at it. Most people recognize when they see how skillful I am with this reverse, they say: \u201cOh, my God. How did you do that?\u201d Well, because I\u2019ve done it thousands of times, that\u2019s how I got good at it. It\u2019s like a guy who fixes pipes, got good at it. [Heavy sigh.] This thing is six hours long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">We\u2019re almost done. What you said about being a different person than you were prior \u2014 <\/strong>Are we getting anything done here?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/05\/magazine\/bill-murray-interview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&rsquo;re saying they&rsquo;re not representative.
