More quotes by Ricky Gervais
Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
Ricky Gervais
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.
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
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.
Ricky Gervais
When someone thanks God, I don't get offended.
Ricky Gervais
Daniel Day-Lewis would play me as a baby. He can do anything. Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt are fighting out for me now. And Meryl Streep will play me after the sex change. I haven't told you about that, have I?
Ricky Gervais
I have to be excited, I have to have an adrenaline rush about doing something, or it bores me, I feel trapped.
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 always chose all my friends on whether they were funny. What's a better way to pass the time than laughing or smiling?
Ricky Gervais
Whether you understand they evolved over billions of years or believe that a God made them all one afternoon, please be kind to animals.
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
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
Remember, no one can hurt your feelings without your permission
Ricky Gervais
Take a picture not a trophy This is how real men shoot animals
Ricky Gervais
There are good and bad critics like good or bad artists. A good critic says why they didn't like it. A bad critic gives it away that they don't like you as a person. I quite like that as well, because it means that I've won.
Ricky Gervais
It will be great to play a short, fat sweaty loser for a change.
Ricky Gervais
I think sometimes you get given a good pile of goodwill, and it's whether you use it up in the first six months or spread it out over a career.
Ricky Gervais
People think The Office was improvised, but it's all on the page. We do that because what we found is that in the early days of The Office, we went in with it sort of 80 percent scripted and we did some things and then we improv'd and we did - you know, and it gets a laugh on the floor because it's the first time they've heard it.
Ricky Gervais
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
It's the team that matters. Where would The Beatles be without Ringo. If John got Yoko to play drums the history of music would be completely different.
