Bill Murray: The ESQ+A

Scott Raab: Did you ever want to be a stand-up?

Bill Murray: No. I saw them work, and they seemed so unhappy. If an audience didn't like them, they'd get so miserable about it. It looked too miserable. I did it once and it was fun. But I only had to do it once to realize I could do it, but I don't want to do it. I've done it a little bit lately — I'll emcee a concert, something like that.

SR: It's no surprise you can do it. You're Bill Murray.

BM: But you still have to be funny. If you're not funny, then it's "Guess who's not funny?"

SR: Bill Murray.

BM: "Hey, I'll tell you who's not funny. That guy." I don't wanna die at this point.
