I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.
Ricky Gervais

It breaks your heart when you throw something away, but it's what left that counts. It's like worrying about the bits of rock you have knocked off in order to make a beautiful statue. You've wasted half the rock, yeah, but it's the Venus di Milo!

I think, as a comedian, the funniest you can be is with people you know, and [whom] you've known for years, in a pub. That's as funny as you get, and so the aim [while stand-up] is to get that funny on stage with 5,000 strangers, to get that funny in a room where people shouldn't be listening but they are.

I think the job of a comedian is to make people laugh, but also challenge them to laugh at things they didn't know they could until now.

That’s the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity.

In a safe Western world where we're not being shot at and we're not starving, the worst thing that happens to us most days is someone's rude to us, or we accidentally insult someone. Social faux pas is the worst thing that happens to most people, most days, so we've got to concentrate on that, really.

Piracy doesn't kill music, boy bands do.

No one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.

Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.
Ricky Gervais
Image
You want to see the people you've sort of come to know and love, or love to hate, you want to see them develop in some way. And I hope people get sort of caught up in that arc.
Ricky Gervais

The next time someone is critical of you, just take a moment to consider their life. Then smile to yourself.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I think doing something creative is the most important thing to me, and I think it's probably just good for the soul for anyone, whatever it is. You don't have to be a film director - you can do gardening or something - but I think everyone needs to create something.

I don't see myself as part of an acting fraternity or a comedy fraternity.

Dear Religion, This week I safely dropped a man from space while you shot a child in the head for wanting to go to school. Yours, Science.

It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others. Go create, have fun!!

Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.

You see reality TV and it's not reality TV. It's contrived and everything is plotted and scripted nearly. Documentaries are the same and just as bad.
