Animals are not here for us to do as we please with. We are not their superiors, we are their equals. We are their family. Be kind to them.

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

Someone asked me what three things I would save if my house was on fire. I said my cat, my salamander and one of the twins.

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

Spirituality really lost its way when it became a stick to beat people with: ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.

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.

The most important thing in comedy - apart from empathy, which I think is important even if disguised - is surprise. I like surprising people with the fact that something's even a joke at all.
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
Image
I don't live by The Rules you know, and if there's one person who has influenced me in that way of thinking, someone who is a maverick, someone who does 'that' to the system then it's Ian Botham.

Image
If there is a God, why did he make me an atheist?
Ricky Gervais
Image
Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer.

You can drive 1,000 miles across America and find yourself, whereas if you drive a few miles from Slough you're in London anyway, or you hit Wales and you're in another country! Also, wherever you are in England it's still raining.
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I want to get all the nations of the world together, it doesn't matter what colour or creed, and I want to sit them down and say: Guys, The Office is still available on DVD.

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.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I know how much embarrassment hurts, and I love it as a theme because you can keep digging a hole. It's just an endless well, embarrassment.
Ricky Gervais
Image
You should bring something into the world that wasn't in the world before. It doesn't matter what that is. It doesn't matter if it's a table or a film or gardening-everyone should create. You should do something, then sit back and say 'I did that.'
