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
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.
Ricky Gervais
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.
Ricky Gervais
The only reason I work out is so I can eat more cheese.
Ricky Gervais
Dear Religion, This week I safely dropped a man from space while you shot a child in the head for wanting to go to school. Yours, Science.
Ricky Gervais
My physique is down to 20 years of eating cheese.
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
Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.
Ricky Gervais
Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.
