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.

More quotes by Ricky Gervais
The truth doesn't hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt. It's better to know the truth.
Ricky Gervais
No one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.
Ricky Gervais
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
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
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.
Ricky Gervais
A joke isn't yours. It's used and you don't know where it's been.
Ricky Gervais
Famous people are above the law.
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
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
People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they're very rarely the same.
Ricky Gervais
Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. Someone being serious or angry might be funny. If you get angry, the first thing I want to do is laugh because I don't know why you're getting that angry. Pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.
Ricky Gervais
Growing up, the most important thing, after taking care of your family and getting a decent job of work, was having a laugh. That was the point to life.
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
Thank you God for making me an atheist.
Ricky Gervais
Remember, no one can hurt your feelings without your permission
Ricky Gervais
The next time someone is critical of you, just take a moment to consider their life. Then smile to yourself.
Ricky Gervais
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
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?
Ricky Gervais
Take a picture not a trophy This is how real men shoot animals
Ricky Gervais
You try to make characters you care about, and I think realism helps. Even though this is a high concept, the characters have got to be real.
