Ricky Gervais Quotes

I don’t believe in about 2700 Gods. Christians don’t believe in 2699 Gods. They’re nearly as atheistic as me Picture Quote #1

I’ve never done anything for the common consensus. I do things to please me. If you are happy with something yourself, you become bulletproof Picture Quote #1

That’s the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

She said, ‘I’m your biggest fan,’ and I said, ‘Who are you?’ She said, ‘Paris Hilton.’ Picture Quote #1

You see reality TV and it’s not reality TV. It’s contrived and everything is plotted and scripted nearly. Documentaries are the same and just as bad Picture Quote #1

Real racist jokes or sexist jokes aren’t funny - not because they’re offensive, but because they’re not true. As soon as a joke is based on an untruth, it’s not funny Picture Quote #1

Everything you do is autobiographical. Yeah, I grew up in a town called Redding and I had older brothers and sisters so it’s all my memories of growing up Picture Quote #1

I’m not a film snob at all. I much prefer a really good Hollywood blockbuster than a thought-provoking art house movie because entertainment is sort of where it’s at Picture Quote #1

If you walked around like David Bowie in 1973 in Reading, you’d get beaten up. The 1970s in a small town was more like the 1950s.. and that’s the truth. The backdrop was probably Victorian Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel any pressure at all because I don’t care. That’s an occupational hazard... but if you’re doing anything of any worth, and not doing something that’s safe and anodyne and trying to be populist and a national treasure, then you’ve got to assume that as many people hate what you do - and you - as like what you do and like you Picture Quote #1

We only do what we think is good and what we’re happy with. I do that in stand-up, I even do it with my children’s books. I don’t do market research, I don’t have focus groups, I don’t care. I don’t care if it fails, honestly. I’d rather have something that’s completely mine fail than something succeed that I’m not proud of Picture Quote #1

If David Brent is the best thing that I ever come up with, then so be it. What are you supposed to do, time the best thing you do for just before you die? Picture Quote #1

I’m basically a ‘do unto others’ type person. I don’t have any religious feelings because I’m an atheist, but I live my life like there’s a God. And if there was he’d probably love me Picture Quote #1

I like big escapist films. It’s odd because the type of comedian I am and the things I do when I’m writing and directing myself usually deal with the darker side of the human psyche and excruciating social faux pas. I often deal in taboos and the subjects I do as a stand-up are quite challenging. But my film roles have been much more fun and escapist Picture Quote #1

Atheism is the lack of belief in a God (or gods). It makes no claim. It merely rejects the claim that a God (or gods) exists. Nothing more Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s a privilege to be in such a great category of people and... I don’t believe in God, so I’d like to thank dogs. Dogs have given me everything Picture Quote #1

Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It’s just another building block Picture Quote #1

What will it feel like after you die? Exactly the same as it felt for those billions of years before you were born Picture Quote #1

Your God is the best God. In fact, he’s the only God. All other Gods are ridiculous, made up rubbish. Not yours though. Yours is real Picture Quote #1

That’s the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again Picture Quote #1

Growing up, the two things that made my blood boil were religious intolerance and animal cruelty. I’ve never understood it. I can’t stand to have an animal in pain Picture Quote #1

I’ve never done anything for the common consensus. I do things to please me. If you are happy with something yourself, you become bulletproof Picture Quote #1

People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they’re very rarely the same Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Everyday life is interesting enough, whether it be in an office or being ignored on the set of something supposedly more glamorous Picture Quote #1

Atheism is a belief systemÂ, is like saying not going skiing, is a hobby Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in about 2700 Gods. Christians don’t believe in 2699 Gods. They’re nearly as atheistic as me Picture Quote #1
