More quotes by Ricky Gervais
I don't do anything for the money.
Ricky Gervais
I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.
Ricky Gervais
The next time someone is critical of you, just take a moment to consider their life. Then smile to yourself.
Ricky Gervais
People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: you're not fooling anyone, they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by the rules you know.
Ricky Gervais
Hotel bars are pretty good. No one bothers me there. Restaurants are safe. People are quite respectful when you're eating. But what I never do now is go to a busy bar on the weekend, or after 8 o'clock at night. That's the danger zone. Also being trapped. Never go on the Metro, or a bus.
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
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 Hollywood's gotten more reactionary and conservative over the years, because there's no longer art in Hollywood. Art suffers in Hollywood.
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
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?
Ricky Gervais
I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.
Ricky Gervais
Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.
Ricky Gervais
You won't burn in hell. But be nice anyway.
Ricky Gervais
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'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.
Ricky Gervais
I think the best advice I'd say to any actor when you do comedy is play it straight.
Ricky Gervais
Americans are brought up to believe they can grow up to be the president of the United States. Brits are told, It won't happen to you.
Ricky Gervais
Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.
Ricky Gervais
I fought a bear once. But it started crying, so I let it off.
Ricky Gervais
I like my baths really deep and hot. But washing everything only takes a few minutes. So I thought it would be a waste to just flush all that water away. So there was nothing else to do but take pictures of myself trying to look as horrendous as possible. Oh my, what have I started?
Ricky Gervais
