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
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.
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
Thank you God for making me an atheist.
Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais
Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer
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
I don't live by The Rules you know, and if there's one person who has influenced me in that way of thinking, someone who is a maverick, someone who does 'that' to the system then it's Ian Botham.
