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.

The only reason I work out is so I can eat more cheese.

Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer

Image
I never understood redemption when I was young. Even before I was an atheist, I always thought with the prodigal son, well, why's he getting the special treatment?

My ideal meal would probably be the cheesiest pasta or pizza, followed by something creamy and chocolaty. I mean, just the worst things, really.

You now have the least amount of time you've ever had, to do everything you've ever wanted to do. Enjoy your life. You only get one

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.

There's a difference between a job and a career - if you're the boss you don't stop at six o'clock, you have to worry about everything all the time.

I've probably done the odd thing. I've probably done more than I would have done and some things you don't say no to. You don't say no to working with The Simpsons... the greatest comedy show on television. You mustn't. Even though going to my bad judgment, I remember saying that all I can do is make this show slightly worse.

Since there is absolutely no logical reason to assume there is an afterlife, I decided to make the life I have now as much fun as possible.

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!

If I do eat meat, it's got to be ethical. I want to know that it lived a great life before it was killed humanely.

If you can't joke about the most horrendous things in the world, what's the point of jokes? What's the point in having humor? Humor is to get us over terrible things.

I feel that a lot of British comedy is often too bombastic, too obvious, dressing up and shouting and pulling funny faces.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I always chose all my friends on whether they were funny. What's a better way to pass the time than laughing or smiling?

The truth doesn't hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt. It's better to know the truth.

Your God is the best God. In fact, he's the only God. All other Gods are ridiculous, made up rubbish. Not yours though. Yours is real.
