Quote

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.

It will be great to play a short, fat sweaty loser for a change.

Be happy. It really annoys negative people.

I went to university with no money. I can't understand a society that wouldn't give a poor person the same opportunity as a rich person.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I feel that a lot of British comedy is often too bombastic, too obvious, dressing up and shouting and pulling funny faces.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Famous people are above the law.
Ricky Gervais
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I know how much embarrassment hurts, and I love it as a theme because you can keep digging a hole. It's just an endless well, embarrassment.
Ricky Gervais
Image
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.

People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they're very rarely the same.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Your God is the best God. In fact, he's the only God. All other Gods are ridiculous, made up rubbish. Not yours though. Yours is real.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.

Image
You can drive 1,000 miles across America and find yourself, whereas if you drive a few miles from Slough you're in London anyway, or you hit Wales and you're in another country! Also, wherever you are in England it's still raining.

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.

Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I think doing something creative is the most important thing to me, and I think it's probably just good for the soul for anyone, whatever it is. You don't have to be a film director - you can do gardening or something - but I think everyone needs to create something.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer

I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.

I don't do anything for the money.
