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
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.'

Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer.

When someone thanks God, I don't get offended.

Image
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.

The truth doesn't hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt. It's better to know the truth.

The only reason I work out is so I can eat more cheese.

I've got three friends that you'd call famous, but I'm sure after 20 years, most of my friends will be famous or work in television, because that's the nature of what your work is. When I was working in an office, most of my friends worked in offices.

Daniel Day-Lewis would play me as a baby. He can do anything. Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt are fighting out for me now. And Meryl Streep will play me after the sex change. I haven't told you about that, have I?
Ricky Gervais

It's the team that matters. Where would The Beatles be without Ringo. If John got Yoko to play drums the history of music would be completely different.

Thank you God for making me an atheist.

Being honest is what counts. To make the ordinary extraordinary is so much better than starting with the extraordinary.
Ricky Gervais

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

It will be great to play a short, fat sweaty loser for a change.

A Christian telling an atheist they're going to hell is as scary as a child telling an adult they're not getting any presents from Santa.

Next time someone tells me they believe in God, I'll say 'Oh which one? Zeus? Hades? Jupiter? Mars? Odin? Thor? Krishna? Vishnu? Ra?...' If they say 'Just God. I only believe in the one God,' I'll point out that they are nearly as atheistic as me. I don't believe in 2,870 gods, and they don't believe in 2,869.

I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.

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.

The service in L.A. is the best. You don't get sarcastic, surly, fed-up waiters and waitresses like you do in England. They're good at their job and they're there for the customer. The only depressing thing is a lot of them have written more screenplays than me.

The next time someone is critical of you, just take a moment to consider their life. Then smile to yourself.
