When someone thanks God, I don't get offended.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I always knew I had to be 100 percent in charge, even when I was a middle manager. I used to say to my boss, Just give me enough rope and then fire me.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.
Ricky Gervais
Image
If there is a God, why did he make me an atheist?
Ricky Gervais
Image
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.
Ricky Gervais
Image
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.'

Image
Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Of all the disciplines involved in making anything - TV, film or anything I do - the writing is the most valuable commodity.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I see Atheists are fighting and killing each other again, over who doesn't believe in any God the most. Oh, no..wait.. that never happens.

Do this or you’ll burn in hell.

Where there's a will - there's a relative!
Ricky Gervais
Image
You want to see the people you've sort of come to know and love, or love to hate, you want to see them develop in some way. And I hope people get sort of caught up in that arc.
Ricky Gervais
Image
When I direct my own scripts, it's much easier as it's been in my head for a year already... What I love about this is having an idea and seeing it come to fruition on screen. I would like to direct someone else's script one day, but I might not get round to it before I die - you can't legislate for being hit by a bus!
Ricky Gervais
Image
I think sometimes you get given a good pile of goodwill, and it's whether you use it up in the first six months or spread it out over a career.
Ricky Gervais
Image
Someone asked me what three things I would save if my house was on fire. I said my cat, my salamander and one of the twins.
Ricky Gervais
Image
You now have the least amount of time you've ever had, to do everything you've ever wanted to do. Enjoy your life. You only get one

She said, 'I'm your biggest fan,' and I said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'Paris Hilton.'

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.

Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer

There's a difference between a job and a career - if you're the boss you don't stop at six o'clock, you have to worry about everything all the time.
