“I think the only reason I've had the career life that I've had is that someone told me some secrets early on about living. You can do the very best you can when you're very, very relaxed, no matter what it is or what your job is, the more relaxed you are the better you are. That's sort of why I got into acting. I realized the more fun I had, the better I did it. And I thought, that's a job I could be proud of. It's changed my life learning that, and it's made me better at what I do.” ThinkingMadeMatterReasonJobsFunCan DoActingSecretCareersChangedProudNo Matter WhatI RealizedBe ProudRelaxedChanged My LifeLife Learning Author:Bill Murray

“Growing up, I was the weird, theatrical kid who always tried to make people be in my plays. I've always loved comedy, but when it came time to figure out what I was going to go to school for, my parents were like, "Acting?! I don't think so. No." It took me a while to get the courage to pursue it. I had to do it in secret for a little bit, and then when I got married and was out on my own, I went for it.” PeopleThinkingLittlesPlayKidsSchoolBitsParentMy OwnActingSecretGrowing UpComedyGrowingFiguresMarriedLittle BitPursueTheatrical Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
