More quotes by Ricky Gervais
I think Hollywood's gotten more reactionary and conservative over the years, because there's no longer art in Hollywood. Art suffers in Hollywood.
Ricky Gervais
I'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.
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
I remember the first check I got for 'The Office,' and it made me feel sad. It ruined it. ... Because there was sort of a nobility in poverty.

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 remember one review of The Office Christmas Special that compared it unfavourably to Dickens. What? You're saying I'm not as good as the greatest storyteller ever. Boo! Boo! I think I can live with that.
Ricky Gervais
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.

Ricky Gervais
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.
Ricky Gervais
I'm quite squeamish, really. I'm philistine and unsophisticated - not because of my great discerning palate but other reasons. Some are moral grounds, some texture.
Ricky Gervais
She said, 'I'm your biggest fan,' and I said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'Paris Hilton.'
Ricky Gervais
Pol Pot - he rounded up anybody he thought was intellectual and had them executed. And how he told someone was intellectual or not was whether they wore glasses. If they're that clever, take them off when they see him coming!
Ricky Gervais
The service in L.A. is the best. You don't get sarcastic, surly, fed-up waiters and waitresses like you do in England. They're good at their job and they're there for the customer. The only depressing thing is a lot of them have written more screenplays than me.
Ricky Gervais
I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.
Ricky Gervais
It annoys me that the burden of proof is on us. It should be You came up with the idea. Why do you believe it? I could tell you I've got superpowers. But I can't go up to people saying Prove I can't fly. They'd go: What do you mean 'Prove you can't fly'? Prove you can!
Ricky Gervais

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

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!
Ricky Gervais
