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.

Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.

I don't see myself as part of an acting fraternity or a comedy fraternity.

Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.

Image
I get so sick of people asking: What's your demographic? Or: Oh we've got to aim this at... No, you have to aim it at you. You do the thing you would love... make the thing you would love and be proud of. There's enough people in the world that, if you do that and do it well as a single vision, they'll go: That's my favourite thing ever!

Pol Pot - he rounded up anybody he thought was intellectual and had them executed. And how he told someone was intellectual or not was whether they wore glasses. If they're that clever, take them off when they see him coming!

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.

I remember one review of The Office Christmas Special that compared it unfavourably to Dickens. What? You're saying I'm not as good as the greatest storyteller ever. Boo! Boo! I think I can live with that.

Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on the computer.

Image
I use people's real voices because I want realism. So often I mention the actors' physicality because I want it to be like a real documentary.

A joke isn't yours. It's used and you don't know where it's been.
Ricky Gervais

The truth doesn't hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt. It's better to know the truth.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Animals are not here for us to do as we please with. We are not their superiors, we are their equals. We are their family. Be kind to them.

I think Hollywood's gotten more reactionary and conservative over the years, because there's no longer art in Hollywood. Art suffers in Hollywood.

Mondays are fine. It's your life that sucks

I think the job of a comedian is to make people laugh, but also challenge them to laugh at things they didn't know they could until now.

I like my baths really deep and hot. But washing everything only takes a few minutes. So I thought it would be a waste to just flush all that water away. So there was nothing else to do but take pictures of myself trying to look as horrendous as possible. Oh my, what have I started?

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.

It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others. Go create, have fun!!

Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.

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.
