Quote

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 feel sorry for people in power. I feel sorry for the Queen, in a way, that she hasn't had a normal life. It'd difficult for me to hate anyone. Immediately someone's unpopular, I feel sorry for them.

I've always dabbled. I've always nearly written a book, I've always tried painting, I've always tried to make something out of ideas, really. It was never a plan. I never thought, Right. First I'll get famous, and then I'll do a book.

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.

Same-sex marriage is not a gay privilege, it's equal rights.

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.

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.

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.

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.

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.

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
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.

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.

I fought a bear once. But it started crying, so I let it off.

If you walked around like David Bowie in 1973 in Reading, you'd get beaten up. The 1970s in a small town was more like the 1950s.. and that's the truth. The backdrop was probably Victorian.

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.

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
Image
I think the social faux par is probably what most people fear... more people fear public speaking than death and that's because we don't want to make a fool of ourselves. It's fundamental.

That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.

I don't believe in about 2700 Gods. Christians don't believe in 2699 Gods. They're nearly as atheistic as me.
