As an actor, I felt I couldn't compete. I wasn't as cute as the leading man; I wasn't as brilliant as Robin Williams.
I've succeeded beyond my wildest dreams - financially and the amount of fun I have in my life.
The one thing I could do was voices and impersonations and weird characters, and there was really no call for that, except on Saturday Night Live.
Marines die, that's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.
I could never learn what I'm learning at college. They don't teach it there, because it can't be learned in that way.
It was literally a situation where you felt the most unbridled glory and the most excruciating emotional agony. What's the line -- laugh all your laughter, cry all your tears? And revel in the glory of it all,
I'm a really big fan of Bill Murray.
