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.

More quotes by Ricky Gervais
My ideal meal would probably be the cheesiest pasta or pizza, followed by something creamy and chocolaty. I mean, just the worst things, really.
Ricky Gervais
Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.
Ricky Gervais
In a safe Western world where we're not being shot at and we're not starving, the worst thing that happens to us most days is someone's rude to us, or we accidentally insult someone. Social faux pas is the worst thing that happens to most people, most days, so we've got to concentrate on that, really.
Ricky Gervais
You should bring something into the world that wasn't in the world before. It doesn't matter what that is. It doesn't matter if it's a table or a film or gardening-everyone should create. You should do something, then sit back and say 'I did that.'
Ricky Gervais
No one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.
Ricky Gervais
The only reason I work out is so I can eat more cheese.
Ricky Gervais
You do your own thing and you see if you survive.
Ricky Gervais
It breaks your heart when you throw something away, but it's what left that counts. It's like worrying about the bits of rock you have knocked off in order to make a beautiful statue. You've wasted half the rock, yeah, but it's the Venus di Milo!
Ricky Gervais
I've always dabbled. I've always nearly written a book, I've always tried painting, I've always tried to make something out of ideas, really. It was never a plan. I never thought, Right. First I'll get famous, and then I'll do a book.
Ricky Gervais
A Christian telling an atheist they're going to hell is as scary as a child telling an adult they're not getting any presents from Santa.
Ricky Gervais
It will be great to play a short, fat sweaty loser for a change.
Ricky Gervais
Spirituality really lost its way when it became a stick to beat people with: ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
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
People think The Office was improvised, but it's all on the page. We do that because what we found is that in the early days of The Office, we went in with it sort of 80 percent scripted and we did some things and then we improv'd and we did - you know, and it gets a laugh on the floor because it's the first time they've heard it.
Ricky Gervais
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.
Ricky Gervais
It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others. Go create, have fun!!
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
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.
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
For any of you who don't know, the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars, but without all that esteem. The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. A bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker, and more easily bought.
Ricky Gervais
