More quotes by Ricky Gervais
I've got three friends that you'd call famous, but I'm sure after 20 years, most of my friends will be famous or work in television, because that's the nature of what your work is. When I was working in an office, most of my friends worked in offices.
Ricky Gervais
I always knew I had to be 100 percent in charge, even when I was a middle manager. I used to say to my boss, Just give me enough rope and then fire me.
Ricky Gervais
Being on the edge isn't as safe, but the view is better
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 get so sick of people asking: What's your demographic? Or: Oh we've got to aim this at... No, you have to aim it at you. You do the thing you would love... make the thing you would love and be proud of. There's enough people in the world that, if you do that and do it well as a single vision, they'll go: That's my favourite thing ever!
Ricky Gervais
I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.
Ricky Gervais
Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.
Ricky Gervais
Hotel bars are pretty good. No one bothers me there. Restaurants are safe. People are quite respectful when you're eating. But what I never do now is go to a busy bar on the weekend, or after 8 o'clock at night. That's the danger zone. Also being trapped. Never go on the Metro, or a bus.
Ricky Gervais
No one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.
Ricky Gervais
Our challenge with The Office and Extras was to get it completely scripted but to find a cast that could make it look like they were saying it for the first time.
Ricky Gervais
She said, 'I'm your biggest fan,' and I said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'Paris Hilton.'
Ricky Gervais
Fact is stranger than fiction. You see people walking down the street that would never be allowed on television. You have to tone it down.
Ricky Gervais
That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.
Ricky Gervais
Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer
Ricky Gervais
Americans are brought up to believe they can grow up to be the president of the United States. Brits are told, It won't happen to you.
Ricky Gervais
I've never regretted saying no to anything, or finishing something. When I'm in the middle of doing something I love, I can have a better idea, and I'll go, Oh God, I can't finish this. Maybe I've got some sort of disorder.
Ricky Gervais
Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
Ricky Gervais
I don't think humans are meant to be looked at when we're buying pants.
Ricky Gervais
I've never worked out what the moral of Humpty Dumpty is. I can only think of: Don't sit on a wall, if you're an egg.
Ricky Gervais
Spirituality really lost its way when it became a stick to beat people with: ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
