More quotes by Ricky Gervais
When you get back into the editing suite in the cold light of day, the written stuff is better.
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
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
Being honest is what counts. To make the ordinary extraordinary is so much better than starting with the extraordinary.
Ricky Gervais
I like every part [of the film process ] except the business and admin stuff. The initial idea. Writing. Re-writing. Casting. Directing, Editing. If I had to chose I'd say writing, followed by putting music on the picture. That is magical.
Ricky Gervais
I think, as a comedian, the funniest you can be is with people you know, and [whom] you've known for years, in a pub. That's as funny as you get, and so the aim [while stand-up] is to get that funny on stage with 5,000 strangers, to get that funny in a room where people shouldn't be listening but they are.
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
If I do eat meat, it's got to be ethical. I want to know that it lived a great life before it was killed humanely.
Ricky Gervais
I remember the first check I got for 'The Office,' and it made me feel sad. It ruined it. ... Because there was sort of a nobility in poverty.
Ricky Gervais
If you're surrounded by idiots, you're the unpopular one and the odd one out because idiots don't like smart asses.
Ricky Gervais
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you believe in god, you're wrong.
Ricky Gervais
I don't think humans are meant to be looked at when we're buying pants.
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
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
Being on the edge isn't as safe, but the view is better
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
Our challenge with The Office and Extras was to get it completely scripted but to find a cast that could make it look like they were saying it for the first time.
Ricky Gervais
We didn't evolve God made us. So I just want to explain to you exactly how that happened... Some of the things you'll hear do sound a little bit far-fetched. I admit that. Then I found out that the other name for The Bible is The Gospel, so it is all true. Luckily, the clue is in the title.
Ricky Gervais
Daniel Day-Lewis would play me as a baby. He can do anything. Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt are fighting out for me now. And Meryl Streep will play me after the sex change. I haven't told you about that, have I?
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.
