Bill Murray: ‘I do not like people that complain about being famous’

On attending Bill Murray Day at TIFF: “The whole thing gets more complicated as it draws closer, and you feel such dread about it. I’m nervous. All I can think is I feel like the Statue of Liberty covered with maggots. I feel like I am going to be assaulted! Why am I doing this?”

His career: “There’s no real plan. I just do what I like. What agents do is try to package you with other people they got. I don’t really require that. If you have an agent, you get a lot of bad ******s. I could probably make better deals. I could probably make more money.”

He won’t campaign for an Oscar, ever again: “I’ve never done that. I know that’s something Harvey (Weinstein) does — he forces you to do these things. I’m not that way. If you want an award so much, it’s like a virus. It’s an illness.”

On losing in 2024 for Lost in Translation: “Six months later, I realized I had taken the virus. I had been infected. people have this post-Oscar blowback. They start thinking, ‘I can’t do a movie unless it’s Oscar-worthy.’ It just seems people have difficulty making the right choices after that.”

Harvey on Bill’s refusal to campaign: “And neither will we, until something happens, like a Golden Globe or a critic’s award. If that happens, he’ll have to get a restraining order against us. We’ll disregard what he told us.”

Bill also sat down with Howard Stern last week. Bill talks about the “emotional” Alimooney wedding, his dislike for Seinfeld, his love of In-N-Out burger, and how the late Roger Ebert used to bust his chops. Here are some other topics:

On fame: “I do not like people that complain about being famous, but I say to people, ‘Hey, you want to be rich and famous? Try being rich, and see if that doesn’t cover most of it for you.’ You have a bunch of dough, you can be as kind as you want, and you can be invisible. No one has to know you have a bunch of dough, and you can behave any way you want. You can be a secret kind of person.”

On not finding the love of his life: “Well… I do think about that. I do think about that. I’m not sure when I’m getting done here. I have kids–I have children that I’m responsible for–and I enjoy that very much, and that wouldn’t have happened without women. I don’t think I’m lonely. It would be nice to go to some of these things and have a date, have someone to bring along. And to go play golf in Scotland, that would be fun. But there’s a lot that I’m not doing that I need to do–something like working on yourself, self-development, and becoming more connected to myself. I don’t have a problem connecting with people, my problem is connecting with myself. And if I’m not really committing myself really well to that, it’s sort of better that I don’t have another person. I can’t take on another relationship if I’m not taking care of the things I need to take care of the most. What stops us from looking at ourselves is that we’re kind of ugly if we look really hard; we’re not who we think we are, and we’re not as wonderful as we think we are.”

Today’s Blind Items – Not Quite Famous Enough
This actress used to be A list. It was a brief run at the top of the list, but her time there imprinted her on the world and she still continues to enjoy A+ list **** recognition even though her first movie was about 30 years ago. It is hard to believe it has been that long since she made her entrance. It was that same time period that also saw one of her first co-stars get his start in movies. He is A+ list now. Our actress always had a thing for guys who were bad boys. She was known as someone who wouldn’t mind if you wanted to rough her up a little bit and she was supposedly very willing to do whatever any guy wanted. Some say she was abused as a teen which led to this type of relationship. Sometimes the guys got completely out of hand and she suffered her fair share of beatings. One of those beatings kept her unemployed for three months and she lost a major role because of it. Her career never recovered after that miss. To say she has dated some of the more Famous figures of all-time would be fair to say. One of those people was enamored with her and spent millions of dollars on her. Well, the movie version of her. Our actress did her best acting when she was with this guy. He flew her all over the world and she still has millions of dollars of jewels he gave her and is living off the money she received during and after the relationship even though it ended almost 20 years ago. The reason he left her was because he found someone even more Famous than our actress. She really couldn’t believe she was being dumped, at least for someone who was roughly her same age. She would show up at the guy’s apartment and his homes around the world and one time was thrown in jail because the guards of his new A+ list celebrity girlfriend viewed her as a threat. She finally backed off after that visit and a nice healthy check from her boyfriend’s dad. That is how he usually handled the affairs of his son.

Distractify | 30 Adorable Kids Who Had No Idea How Famous They Were About To Become

Famous Failures

Some of the most famous, influential and successful people of our time, have at one time or anothe
r experienced major failure. As a child, Beyonce lost Star Search. Oprah was fired from her first job
on television as a news anchor and Walt Disney was fired from his newspaper job for his “lack of imagination.”

These are just a few of the countless Famous Failures that you may or may not know about.
It is easy to forget that the people we see as cultural icons now, were once simply
people with dreams and passion.
What these three people, and all successful people, have in common is their unwillingness
to quit and perhaps more fear of mediocrity than failure. In the three examples above the ‘failure’
seemed to fuel the passion to stay in the game.

Mediocrity is defined as the quality of something that is not very good. And while Bey, O and Walt had talents
that were, according to their superiors, not good enough, they never stopped trying.
Even if they were afraid to
fail they did not let it stop them from staying the course.
Their persistence, talent and passion put each of them in the category of greatest
talents of the last century.

Fear of failure can keep you stuck or even paralyze you when it comes to taking the next steps
towards your desired goal. It can also push you into unfocused overdrive, causing you
to feel unfulfilled and frazzled. Neither of which will get you where you want to go.
Try to remember that fear is just a feeling, like all your other feelings.

It should not have some elevated status in your emotional life. What if Walt Disney never moved
past his newspaper failure? Whether you’re a fan or not, a world without Disney would be
a very different place. What if Oprah decided to give up on television and choose a more
‘practical’ career. We would all be worse off as she has touched millions with an invitation
to think differently about ourselves and our world. .

Your dreams, big or small, are specific to you. No one has dreams in the exact way that
you do, and no one can express them as you will. In the face of fear try
to remember this awesome Martha Graham quote:

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.”

The expression of your dreams and desires is vital, and as powerful as fear can feel, you are more powerful.
Fear often masquerade as other emotions,.

Ninety-eight percent of the time fear is just a feeling. When you can identify fear for what it really
is, you begin to minimize it’s power. Take time to recognize where you feel fear in your ****
and what it feels like. Some people feel fear in their stomach, others in their throat
or even legs. In moments when you are experiencing fear take a few seconds to scan your ****.
Where do you feel discomfort? Breath into this spot. When you acknowledge how you feel
and bring your attention to it, you actually are allowing yourself to feel the feeling
so it can then pass through you. Feel it to release it.

Feeling your fear is one of the many ways that believe it or not, you can make fear work for you.
How do you manage your fear? In the comments below I would love to hear how fear affects you.
Do you fear failure or mediocrity? Or both
.

Bill Murray: ‘I do not like people that complain about being famous’

[From Variety]

[From HowardStern.com]

Cele|bitchy | Bill Murray: â€˜I do not like people that complain about being famousâ€™

Angelina Jolie: Rich, Famous Moms "Shouldn’t Complain"

Angelina Jolie: Rich, Famous Moms "Shouldn’t Complain," "Have Much More Support Than Most"

Hear that, Gwyneth? Angelina Jolie knows how good she has it. The Oscar-winning actress, 38, said in a new interview with the New York Daily News that she is aware that she has "much more support than most people."

"I’m not a single mom with two jobs trying to get by every day," the Maleficent star said. "I have much more support than most people, most women in this world. And I have the financial means to have a home and health care and food."

Jolie is famously the mother to six children with longtime partner Brad Pitt. The couple parents son Maddox, 12, son Pax, 10, daughter Zahara, 9, daughter Shiloh, 7, son Knox, 5, and daughter Vivienne, 5.

In addition to her starring role in the upcoming Maleficent, Jolie is also lending her voice to Kung Fu Panda 3 and directing the Coen brothers-assisted war drama Unbroken. She continued, "When I feel I’m doing too much, I do less, if I can. And that’s why I’m in a rare position where I don’t have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it."

"I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn’t complain," Jolie, who is worth a reported combined $270 million with Pitt, said. "Consider all the people who really struggle and don’t have the financial means, don’t have the support, and many people are single raising children. That’s hard."

One actress who does not seem to agree with Jolie’s sense of perspective is Gwyneth Paltrow. The Goop businesswoman lamented her struggles of maintaining her film career while raising children in a recent interview with E! News.

"It’s much harder for me," mother-to-two Paltrow, 41, said. "I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening."

"When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult," she continued. "I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as… of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set."
