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.

More quotes by 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
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
America champions the underdog. We champion the underdog until he's not the underdog anymore, and he annoys us.
Ricky Gervais
I think the best advice I'd say to any actor when you do comedy is play it straight.
Ricky Gervais
Of all the disciplines involved in making anything - TV, film or anything I do - the writing is the most valuable commodity.
Ricky Gervais
I don't do anything for the money.
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 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
You do your own thing and you see if you survive.
Ricky Gervais
That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.
Ricky Gervais
My physique is down to 20 years of eating cheese.
Ricky Gervais
It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others. Go create, have fun!!
Ricky Gervais
You are the result of billions of years of evolution. You will only live for a few years and will never exist again. Absolutely beautiful
Ricky Gervais
The only reason I work out is so I can eat more cheese.
Ricky Gervais
The most important thing in comedy - apart from empathy, which I think is important even if disguised - is surprise. I like surprising people with the fact that something's even a joke at all.
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
Remember, no one can hurt your feelings without your permission
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
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
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.
