Bill Murray and feeling yourself

Bill Murray has been an inspiration of mine for a long time, not just the fact that his movies brew genuine delight and joy in me, but he also is a very intelligent and wise person who understands how he wants to live his life and has no problems doing it.

I recently read an Article which details the seven steps to live like Bill Murray, and although the seven steps all seem fun and amazing. They will probably only all work for Bill Murray, because I am not Bill Murray why would I want to live like he lives?

I encourage you to give the short audio interview a listen  and hear what Bill Murray says about being yourself, and asking what it must be like to be someone else.




This is relevant to this blog because I think a lot of young artists try to imagine what it would be like if there were a Bobby Chiu, or a Stephen Silver or a Pen Ward. When that is not the question anyone should ask themselves, because you will never have the same things happen to you that happened to them. Something different will come to you are you need to be open to any and all possibilities!

This is a prelude to a series of posts that I will be writing about the important people in Television animation and what the did to make our lives better, why they changed animation, and how. And I want everyone to remember that even though we are learning from what the greats before us did, we need to forge our own path, and improve or change what they have given us.
