Quote

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.

Being on the edge isn't as safe, but the view is better
Ricky Gervais

The world is not entirely comic and it's not entirely dramatic. You have a laugh and then someone finds a lump and you deal with that. Because that is what life is like.
Ricky Gervais

Piracy doesn't kill music, boy bands do.

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 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
Image
Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.
Ricky Gervais

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you believe in god, you're wrong.

Image
You see reality TV and it's not reality TV. It's contrived and everything is plotted and scripted nearly. Documentaries are the same and just as bad.
Ricky Gervais
Image
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'm not from around these parts. I'm from a little place called England: we used to run the world before you.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side!

I can't find someone funny whom I don't like. Hitler told great jokes. I didn't find it funny at all.
Ricky Gervais
Image
You try to make characters you care about, and I think realism helps. Even though this is a high concept, the characters have got to be real.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Of all the disciplines involved in making anything - TV, film or anything I do - the writing is the most valuable commodity.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Most people sitting at home aren't cool, successful, witty Hollywood stars, but they all worry about what people think of them when they faux pas.
Ricky Gervais
Image
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
Image
That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Being honest is what counts. To make the ordinary extraordinary is so much better than starting with the extraordinary.
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.

A joke isn't yours. It's used and you don't know where it's been.
