Bill Murray

And the only one I miss, you know. She was extraordinary. And incredibly intelligent. Unbelievably amazing. You could sense the intelligence. Absolutely. Absolutely. Where you kind of go like, uh-oh, the one on four legs is ahead of me. So that's a challenge to show up. You know, every time I'd look at that animal, I would be reminded like, well... Ty's being Ty.

Why don't you try and be Bill and see if you can get it going? Let's go. So it was like that with her and with the dog, with Bing, the same thing. If something happened to you, if something actually occurred to you, and it happens in the movie where things happen, scenes take place, and you see the dog react to it. When I first saw the first cut of it, I said, are you kidding? Is this dog, like,

Stanislavski, how the hell is this dog doing this? It was crazy. The dog actually... Come on in. It's an emergency. So... Oh, boy. It was kind of... It was fun for me to be meeting the dog because I was really meeting the dog. So I was being... authentic anyway. I wasn't being like trying to be a certain way to get the dog to behave a certain way. I was actually meeting the dog. Well, cheers.

No. I know that sounds like, how could you like it in an animal and not a human? My greatest fear or one thing I try to, not exactly forbid, but try to avoid is in a movie you do a bunch of takes. You try it a few times and you do it differently because either you didn't like it or there was a mistake made, an error, the cameraman wants to change the light, something different.

You do it, sometimes you do it just to get into the feel of it. It takes you a few to get going. And I feel like the way I sort of was taught or educated as an actor was there's a sense of play, you know, and you can't possibly recreate that moment that just happened a minute ago. Why try? So I'm puzzled by people that wish to recreate that. performance that just happened a minute ago.

I want something brand new. This is the one that counts because this is the one we're in. This is where we are. I mean, I want you to show up is what I want you to do. That's the consistency I want. I want you to really be, you know, in your own skin and me in my skin. And so we're both like doing our best. And you're always trying to, you know, my brother Brian described it well as like,

You know, actors don't really compete. They just say, you know, that has an ugly feel to it, competing. But how about if I go here? Can you match that and go here? And can you go here? And you keep elevating the scene and you keep adding more dynamics to it, you know, more color, more color.

I was never a great improviser, but I could do something. I could do something. And, um, I don't know what your question is anymore.
