More quotes by Ricky Gervais
I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.
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
I don't believe in about 2700 Gods. Christians don't believe in 2699 Gods. They're nearly as atheistic as me.
Ricky Gervais
Opinions don't affect facts. But facts should affect opinions, and do, if you're rational
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
We didn't evolve God made us. So I just want to explain to you exactly how that happened... Some of the things you'll hear do sound a little bit far-fetched. I admit that. Then I found out that the other name for The Bible is The Gospel, so it is all true. Luckily, the clue is in the title.
Ricky Gervais
Same-sex marriage is not a gay privilege, it's equal rights.
Ricky Gervais
Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
Ricky Gervais
I have to be excited, I have to have an adrenaline rush about doing something, or it bores me, I feel trapped.
Ricky Gervais
Body language is more powerful than words.
Ricky Gervais
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.
Ricky Gervais
I know how much embarrassment hurts, and I love it as a theme because you can keep digging a hole. It's just an endless well, embarrassment.
Ricky Gervais
I can't find someone funny whom I don't like. Hitler told great jokes. I didn't find it funny at all.
Ricky Gervais
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. Some people are offended by mixed marriage, gay people, atheism. So what? F*** 'em.
Ricky Gervais
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
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
Spirituality really lost its way when it became a stick to beat people with: ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
Ricky Gervais
Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
Ricky Gervais
The next time someone is critical of you, just take a moment to consider their life. Then smile to yourself.
Ricky Gervais
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.
