Bill Murray gives a surprising and meaningful answer you might not expect.

I didn't watch it all but I can tell you now BM isn't all there
WTF was he talking about? The guy has good writers but he strikes me as a man I would not want to know.

He was on SNL so I'm assuming there was some drug use that has reared it's ugly head in his later years.

My dad has been getting like this for the last 10 years.  He's 67 now.  
I think BM is suffering from some form of dementia.

You ever get the impression that some of these people would be Hobos if they weren't famous actors?

I cant see the video...(using Chrome), but when I met him back 04, he was a very nice and polite man. Struck me as a good guy.

He tries too hard to be weird.

Maintaining relevance is hard work.

TheCHIVE, the Ghostbusters 2016, and any number of Wes Anderson movies that try too hard to be "quirky"  ruined any enjoyment of Bill Murray for me.

Edited.

He does love golf but what does that say.????

I think he's like Dylan and you won't easily get what you want in interviews.

Yea. Like they would rather be somewhere else. Bill Murray seems to have adjusted better than other actors down the years.

I honestly get the gut feeling he really doesn't give a shit, and is just living the life of a "man of lesiure" so to speak.

He seems very casual about making business commitments to anything these days.   I've read he will often give very casual, non-commital answers when cornered about future work, and even his own agent will have a hard time having him get back to him.  He probably has enough money to do whatever he feels like doing or not doing.

I'm hearing him express regret for all the hours and days of his life he spent wasted and stoned, and telling himself to stay focused, and live life.

Not a bad message.

No, I actually got it.  At least I think I did.  We all get sidetracked into thinking of things that aren't germane to the moment. But sometimes that's how greatness is achieved, other times it's just a sign of a mental defective.  And sometimes, it's both.

Consciousness, not enlightenment :)

Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas.
Angie D'Annunzio: A looper?
Carl Spackler: A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Seems like he took this attitude to heart:

It Just Doesn't Matter! - Meatballs (6/9) Movie CLIP (1979) HD


And one of the funniest things ever shown on SNL, (IMHO)  sorry for the poor quality video---this bit is almost impossible to find. . Not sure where the clean version is.

That whole Daffy Duck thing he did singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at one of the World Series games in a Chicago was painfully unfunny.
He's also looked really old at the last couple Pebble Beach Celebrity pro-am golf tournaments.  Long term drug use ages a person both mentally and physically.

Nope.  Total consciousness.  So he's got that going for him.  Which is nice.

I actually have fairly regular contact with him, as we frequent a lot of the same places. Nice guy, a little odd, but a nice guy.

That's a man that is staring at his own mortality. Does he have a terminal disease? Perhaps the onset of dementia? Sort of had an ominous tone to it but perhaps I'm reading to much into the interview.

He has depression and possibly other low-level mental issues. His weirdness, and possibly his entire career path, seems based on an underlying need for acceptance.

Either that or he really does not like the interviewer and is fucking with him.  I would hope it is the latter.

I always find it funny when he shows up at the most random places and surprises people, be it a bar in bumfuck USA or a wedding somewhere.
He is odd, but seems like he is always willing to hang out with the common man unlike 99% of holliweird
