We shouldn't even need the word 'atheism'. If people didn't invent ridiculous imaginary gods, rational people wouldn't have to deny them.

More quotes by Ricky Gervais
To complain about critics in a business is like a sailor complaining about the waves. Go back to the beach if you don't like it.
Ricky Gervais
The terrible thing in England is if you interview a thousand people, five hundred of them will talk like they're going into a Guy Ritchie movie and the other five hundred will be Mr. Darcy. So we had to find cool, working class kids with no profile who could be John Travolta and James Dean and people like that.
Ricky Gervais
Be happy. It really annoys negative people.
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
The only reason I work out is so I can eat more cheese.
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
She said, 'I'm your biggest fan,' and I said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'Paris Hilton.'
Ricky Gervais
When you get back into the editing suite in the cold light of day, the written stuff is better.
Ricky Gervais
I don't see myself as part of an acting fraternity or a comedy fraternity.
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's a privilege to be in such a great category of people and... I don't believe in God, so I'd like to thank dogs. Dogs have given me everything.
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
It's interesting that music in this country... we sort of sold something to America with The Beatles and they sold something back. And we've never been afraid to embrace American style rock 'n' roll and make it our own over here.
Ricky Gervais
I'm quite squeamish, really. I'm philistine and unsophisticated - not because of my great discerning palate but other reasons. Some are moral grounds, some texture.
Ricky Gervais
If you walked around like David Bowie in 1973 in Reading, you'd get beaten up. The 1970s in a small town was more like the 1950s.. and that's the truth. The backdrop was probably Victorian.
Ricky Gervais
I don't live by The Rules you know, and if there's one person who has influenced me in that way of thinking, someone who is a maverick, someone who does 'that' to the system then it's Ian Botham.
Ricky Gervais
Trust, encouragement, reward, loyalty... satisfaction. That's what I'm... you know. Trust people and they'll be true to you. Treat them greatly, and they will show themselves to be great.
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
Pol Pot - he rounded up anybody he thought was intellectual and had them executed. And how he told someone was intellectual or not was whether they wore glasses. If they're that clever, take them off when they see him coming!
Ricky Gervais
Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.
Ricky Gervais
