Fact is stranger than fiction. You see people walking down the street that would never be allowed on television. You have to tone it down.

More quotes by Ricky Gervais
Same sex marriage isn't gay privilege, it's equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. Like churches don't.
Ricky Gervais
I use people's real voices because I want realism. So often I mention the actors' physicality because I want it to be like a real documentary.
Ricky Gervais
I'm not from around these parts. I'm from a little place called England: we used to run the world before you.
Ricky Gervais
Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
Ricky Gervais
If there is a God, why did he make me an atheist?
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
If you're surrounded by idiots, you're the unpopular one and the odd one out because idiots don't like smart asses.
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
Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer.
Ricky Gervais
[As a kid] I did enjoy making people laugh but I was also attracted to funny people. I'm [still] quite happy to not be the one trying to make other people laugh. I'm happy laughing at someone else. I enjoy laughing and I'll happily be the one just laughing all night if you can make me laugh.
Ricky Gervais
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you believe in god, you're wrong.
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
Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.
Ricky Gervais
Same-sex marriage is not a gay privilege, it's equal rights.
Ricky Gervais
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.
Ricky Gervais
You want to see the people you've sort of come to know and love, or love to hate, you want to see them develop in some way. And I hope people get sort of caught up in that arc.
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
I've got three friends that you'd call famous, but I'm sure after 20 years, most of my friends will be famous or work in television, because that's the nature of what your work is. When I was working in an office, most of my friends worked in offices.
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
There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.
