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.

I'm Over The Oscar Thing. I Feel

Bill Murray

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.

Ambition Desire Acting

More From Bill Murray

I've learned from my experience that desire is 80% of achievement. that if you really, really want something, if you really, really, really want to do something, that the vast majority of achieving it is wanting it. i mean, really wanting it. not a preference, and not, "gee, i hope this." i mean really wanting it. it is the desire that makes you do what you have to do to achieve.

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

I have an ambition to live 300 years. i will not live 300 years. maybe i will live one year more. but i have the ambition. why you will not have ambition? why? have the greatest ambition possible. you want to be immortal? fight to be immortal. do it. you want to make the most fantastic art or movie? try. if you fail, is not important. we need to try.

I think this is when most people give up on their stories. they come out of college wanting to change the world, wanting to get married, wanting to have kids and change the way people buy office supplies. but they get into the middle and discover it was harder than they thought. they can't see the distant shore anymore, and they wonder if their paddling is moving them forward. none of the trees behind them are getting smaller and none of the trees ahead are getting bigger. they take it out on their spouses, and they go looking for an easier story.

You must learn her. you must know the reason why she is silent. you must trace her weakest spots. you must write to her. you must remind her that you are there. you must know how long it takes for her to give up. you must be there to hold her when she is about to. you must love her because many have tried and failed. and she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept. and, this is how you keep her.

A sacrament--like marriage--means living a life better than your natural instincts, so that you're modeling god. and god never gives up.
