I've never done anything for the common consensus. I do things to please me. If you are happy with something yourself, you become bulletproof.

More quotes by 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.
Ricky Gervais
You do your own thing and you see if you survive.
Ricky Gervais
A joke isn't yours. It's used and you don't know where it's been.
Ricky Gervais
That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.
Ricky Gervais
I feel that a lot of British comedy is often too bombastic, too obvious, dressing up and shouting and pulling funny faces.
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
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
Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.
Ricky Gervais
Thank you God for making me an atheist.
Ricky Gervais
Got a proper job at 28. Gave it up to try comedy at 38. Decided to get fit and healthy at 48. It's never too late. But do it now
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
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
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
I'm a failed pop star. I always sneak a song into everything I do.
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
I've never regretted saying no to anything, or finishing something. When I'm in the middle of doing something I love, I can have a better idea, and I'll go, Oh God, I can't finish this. Maybe I've got some sort of disorder.
Ricky Gervais
I don't do anything for the money.
Ricky Gervais
It's the team that matters. Where would The Beatles be without Ringo. If John got Yoko to play drums the history of music would be completely different.
Ricky Gervais
Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
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.
