My favourite shows of the year are House of Cards, the Scandinavian versions of The Killing and The Bridge, and my guilty pleasure is everything MMA. Ultimate Fighter is amazing.

More quotes by Ricky Gervais
It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others. Go create, have fun!!
Ricky Gervais
I fought a bear once. But it started crying, so I let it off.
Ricky Gervais
Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.
Ricky Gervais
You do your own thing and you see if you survive.
Ricky Gervais
Even if it's such a lowly art as TV, you've got to get stuff off your chest, because that's what makes something different and original, your particular take on stuff.
Ricky Gervais
If you're surrounded by idiots, you're the unpopular one and the odd one out because idiots don't like smart asses.
Ricky Gervais
The simple fact is, offense is taken, not given.
Ricky Gervais
I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.
Ricky Gervais
Next time someone tells me they believe in God, I'll say 'Oh which one? Zeus? Hades? Jupiter? Mars? Odin? Thor? Krishna? Vishnu? Ra?...' If they say 'Just God. I only believe in the one God,' I'll point out that they are nearly as atheistic as me. I don't believe in 2,870 gods, and they don't believe in 2,869.
Ricky Gervais
I use people's real voices because I want realism. So often I mention the actors' physicality because I want it to be like a real documentary.
Ricky Gervais
Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. Someone being serious or angry might be funny. If you get angry, the first thing I want to do is laugh because I don't know why you're getting that angry. Pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.
Ricky Gervais
When I direct my own scripts, it's much easier as it's been in my head for a year already... What I love about this is having an idea and seeing it come to fruition on screen. I would like to direct someone else's script one day, but I might not get round to it before I die - you can't legislate for being hit by a bus!
Ricky Gervais
Spirituality really lost its way when it became a stick to beat people with: ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
Ricky Gervais
We didn't evolve God made us. So I just want to explain to you exactly how that happened... Some of the things you'll hear do sound a little bit far-fetched. I admit that. Then I found out that the other name for The Bible is The Gospel, so it is all true. Luckily, the clue is in the title.
Ricky Gervais
When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.
Ricky Gervais
To complain about critics in a business is like a sailor complaining about the waves. Go back to the beach if you don't like it.
Ricky Gervais
I'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.
Ricky Gervais
Trust, encouragement, reward, loyalty... satisfaction. That's what I'm... you know. Trust people and they'll be true to you. Treat them greatly, and they will show themselves to be great.
Ricky Gervais
I still see myself as a bit of a cottage industry. Being in a room creating stuff and seeing if anyone wants it, as opposed to going to work for someone.
Ricky Gervais
I never understood redemption when I was young. Even before I was an atheist, I always thought with the prodigal son, well, why's he getting the special treatment?
