Jan. 22, 2014 -- intro: Bill Murray is promoting his new movie "Monuments Men," and rather than do interviews with magazines or TV shows, the actor agreed to do a Reddit interview. Fans of the former "Saturday Night Live" star asked him questions about past projects and personal predilections, and here are five of our favorite answers. All grammar, punctuation and capitalization are reflective of Murray's writing.

quicklist: 1title: "Someone asked 'will there be a Garfield 3?" Murray wrote.text: I don't think so. I had a hilarious experience with Garfield. I only read a few pages of it, and I kind of wanted to do a cartoon movie, because I had looked at the screenplay and it said "Joel Cohen" on it.And I wasn't thinking clearly, but it was spelled Cohen, not Coen. ... So I didn't really bother to finish the script, I thought "he's great, I'll do it." ... It was sort of like Fantastic Mr Fox without the joy or the fun. ... The girl, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, she was sweet. In the second movie they dressed her like a homeless person. You knew it wasn't gonna go well.

quicklist: 3title: "Someone asked 'what movie was the most fun to act in' and deleted their comment, so here goes," he wrote.text: Well, I did a film with Jim Jarmusch called Broken Flowers, but I really enjoyed that movie. I enjoyed the script that he wrote. He asked me if I could do a movie, and I said "I gotta stay home, but if you make a movie that i could shoot within one hour of my house, I'll do it."So he found those locations. And I did the movie. ... And when it was done, I thought "this movie is so good, I thought I should stop." I didn't think I could do any better than Broken Flowers, it's a film that is completely realized, and beautiful, and I thought I had done all I could do to it as an actor. And then 6-7 months later someone asked me to work again, so I worked again, but for a few months I thought I couldn't do any better than that.
