Bill Murray is an enigmatic actor who shuns publicists, agents and rarely conducts an interview, but when he does, lots of gems are revealed.

GQ's interview is a must-read for fans, and anyone curious about the making of the third Ghostbuster film will jump for joy as Murray tips he is agreeable to the idea.

Murray is also Chicago and New York centric and does not care for Los Angeles much, where he tells GQ "they just want fresh blood," describing the crush of messages he receives when he is in a hotel in LA.

Last night on Letterman, Murray capitalized on the trend in NYC for Dumpsters to be converted into actual swimming pools. Murray, dressed in black socks, shorts and a hat, took a dive last night into a dumpster pool in the street outside David Letterman's show in New York.

Last summer Mayor Bloomberg and the city created Dumpster pool spots for the city residents to cool off.

After blowing his nose out on the sidewalk and shaking the water out of his ears, Murray enters the studio soaking wet to chat with Dave.

Murray is next seen in Robert Duvall's critically acclaimed little film, "Get Low," in which he plays an undertaker throwing an early funeral for Robert Duvall, whose character Felix has staged his own death.
