"I do think about [why I haven't found a great love]," he admitted. "I'm not sure what I'm getting done here. I have kids that I'm responsible for. I don't think I'm lonely."

Murray married Margaret Kelly in January 1981, and has two sons, Homer and Luke, by his first wife. The marriage ended in 1996 after the actor had an affair with Jennifer Butler, and he wed his mistress in 1997. He and Butler have four sons, Caleb, Jackson, Cooper and Lincoln, and divorced in 2008.

"[It] would be nice to go to some of these things and have a date," he said of George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's wedding. "But there's a lot that I'm not doing that I need to do... Just some things like working on yourself or self-development or something... becoming more connected to myself."
