Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.
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
Image
People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: you're not fooling anyone, they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by the rules you know.
Ricky Gervais

If you can't joke about the most horrendous things in the world, what's the point of jokes? What's the point in having humor? Humor is to get us over terrible things.
Ricky Gervais

When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.

The terrible thing in England is if you interview a thousand people, five hundred of them will talk like they're going into a Guy Ritchie movie and the other five hundred will be Mr. Darcy. So we had to find cool, working class kids with no profile who could be John Travolta and James Dean and people like that.

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.
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
Same sex marriage isn't gay privilege, it's equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. Like churches don't.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I think the social faux par is probably what most people fear... more people fear public speaking than death and that's because we don't want to make a fool of ourselves. It's fundamental.
Ricky Gervais
Image
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.
Ricky Gervais
Image
If you're surrounded by idiots, you're the unpopular one and the odd one out because idiots don't like smart asses.

Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.
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
I still see myself as a bit of a cottage industry. Being in a room creating stuff and seeing if anyone wants it, as opposed to going to work for someone.

Whether you understand they evolved over billions of years or believe that a God made them all one afternoon, please be kind to animals.

Mondays are fine. It's your life that sucks

America champions the underdog. We champion the underdog until he's not the underdog anymore, and he annoys us.

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!

Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
