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

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

I went to university with no ...

I went to university with no money. I can't understand a society that wouldn't give a poor person the same opportunity as a rich person.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

I think the social faux par i...

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 225 quotes

In a safe Western world where...

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 225 quotes

My greatest hero is Nelson Ma...

My greatest hero is Nelson Mandela. What a man. Incarcerated for 25 years, he was released in 1990 and he hasn't reoffended. I think he's going straight, which shows you prison does work.

Got a proper job at 28. Gave it up to try comedy at 38. Decided to get fit and healthy at 48. It's never too late. But do it now

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

Never fear the truth. No bad ...

Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.

I'm not a person that's easily embarrassed, but I'm embarrassed for other people.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

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 225 quotes

I can't stand it. I can't sta...

I can't stand it. I can't stand someone being embarrassed. I don't know why. If someone slips over and the first thing they do is look around, I pretend I haven't seen it.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

Being honest is what counts. ...

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

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

I'm quite squeamish, really. ...

I'm quite squeamish, really. I'm philistine and unsophisticated - not because of my great discerning palate but other reasons. Some are moral grounds, some texture.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

You want to see the people yo...

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.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

I no longer needed a reason f...

I no longer needed a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And imagination, free will, love, humor, fun, music, sports, beer, and pizza are all good enough reasons for living. But living an honest life - for that you need the truth.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

Growing up, the most importan...

Growing up, the most important thing, after taking care of your family and getting a decent job of work, was having a laugh. That was the point to life.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

What is the single most impor...

What is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? It’s the people, investment in people. My proudest moment here wasn’t when I increased profits by 17%, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff. No. It was a young Greek guy, first job in the country, hardly spoke a word of English, but he came to me and he went ‘Mr. Brent, will you be the Godfather to my child?’. Didn’t happen in the end. We had to let him go, he was rubbish. He was rubbish!

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

Do unto others…’ is a good ru...

Do unto others…’ is a good rule of thumb. I live by that. Forgiveness is probably the greatest virtue there is. But that’s exactly what it is - a virtue. Not just a Christian virtue. No one owns being good. I’m good. I just don’t believe I’ll be rewarded for it in heaven. My reward is here and now. It’s knowing that I try to do the right thing. That I lived a good life. And that’s where spirituality really lost its way. When it became a stick to beat people with. ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.’ You won’t burn in hell. But be nice anyway.

I feel that a lot of British comedy is often too bombastic, too obvious, dressing up and shouting and pulling funny faces.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

Everyday life is interesting ...

Everyday life is interesting enough, whether it be in an office or being ignored on the set of something supposedly more glamorous.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.
