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
Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.
Ricky Gervais
When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.
Ricky Gervais
That’s the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity.
Ricky Gervais

Dear Religion, This week I safely dropped a man from space while you shot a child in the head for wanting to go to school. Yours, Science.
Ricky Gervais
I still see myself as a bit of a cottage industry. Being in a room creating stuff and seeing if anyone wants it, as opposed to going to work for someone.
Ricky Gervais
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.
Ricky Gervais
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.
Ricky Gervais
No one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.
Ricky Gervais
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
Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
Ricky Gervais
I feel that a lot of British comedy is often too bombastic, too obvious, dressing up and shouting and pulling funny faces.
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
I don't do anything for the money.
