Overview
- On the Jan. 7 Like A Farmer podcast, Murray said constant wins might have led him to "destroy" himself and that stepping back was necessary.
- He described learning more from mistakes than success and expressed gratitude for being "humbled a bit."
- He admitted regrets about youthful behavior and said he is thankful it wasn't captured by camera phones.
- He recounted his rapid start—moving to Los Angeles in 1999, signing with Warner Bros. by January 2000, then landing Gilmore Girls—which he says can inflate egos if you "know you are the guy."
- He said he wouldn't change his path because it led to his wife and three children and renewed faith, noting he once considered quitting before later returning in projects like Sullivan's Crossing, two Netflix films in 2024, and 2025's Freakier Friday.
