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'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

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 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

Daniel Day-Lewis would play m...

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

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.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

The world is not entirely com...

The world is not entirely comic and it's not entirely dramatic. You have a laugh and then someone finds a lump and you deal with that. Because that is what life is like.

Same-sex marriage is not a gay privilege, it's equal rights.

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.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

I feel sorry for people in power. I feel sorry for the Queen, in a way, that she hasn't had a normal life. It'd difficult for me to hate anyone. Immediately someone's unpopular, I feel sorry for them.

Ricky Gervais 225 quotes

I've got three friends that y...

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.

Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on the computer.

There was a nobility in poverty when I was growing up. My mom was poor but she was planting roses and she was cleaning the steps, you know what I mean. You didn't feel sorry for yourself.
