Ricky Gervais's quotes

[accepting his Golden Globe] I'm not from these parts. I'm from a little place called England--we used to run the world before you lot.
[about the show-biz lifestyle] It's all too much trouble for me. It's probably because I'm fat and lazy and old.
[on turning down the chance to appear in Ocean's Twelve (2004)] Why say a couple of lines opposite Brad Pitt when I could be playing lead back home?
I remember when we were talking to one of the executives at the BBC. And he said, "Now hold on, this man [David Brent] is so incompetent, why wouldn't he be fired?' and I said, "Go and take a look around this building. Just go and knock on a few doors."
Money gives me the creeps and mildly embarrasses me. I get paid too much anyway.
I'm a lot taller than I look on television and younger, and for the role of David Brent, I wore a fat suit under my shirt and trousers. Really I'm about 25 and about 6'1" tall. So that's probably why you don't recognize me in the street.
I grew up watching fantastic mainstream comedies like Porridge (1974) and Rising Damp (1974). There are some mainstream things I love.
Oh, these actors who ask, "What's my motivation?" all the time. Who cares? I'll tell you what your motivation is: it's the only thing you can do, and you're getting paid to do it, so shut the hell up!
[Hosting the 2011 Golden Globes] It's going to be night of partying and heavy drinking. Or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast.
I like Phil Collins, he's a lovely man, but I don't want Phil Collins fans. I don't want the comedy equivalent.
[in 2013 following a series of celebrity arrests in the UK on suspicion of sexual offences] Will all male British entertainers who were famous in the 1970s please just report to your local police station now.
[on the death of James Gandolfini] Damn. RIP James Gandofini. An amazing actor that made arguably the greatest drama of all time, and a funny, sweet, gentle giant off screen.
Someone not liking my work doesn't mean I have to give the awards or the money back. People who don't like your work have no effect on you.
[on Sir Jimmy Savile] My first guest on my first TV show. A proper British eccentric.
[on homosexual marriage] It's a victory for all of us. Anything that promotes equality, promotes progress. You can't take equality "too far".
Offence is the collateral damage of free speech.
It's more important to spend your energy trying to stop actual bad things than to run around trying to stop jokes about bad things.
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.
[on the video for "Bitter Heart" by Seona Dancing] I think the video cost 400 pounds and luckily we had an underground car park for the day. But when you're 21 you can get away with anything, can't you?
[on his look as a 1980s pop star in Seona Dancing] I'm not ashamed how I looked then, I'm ashamed how I look now.
[on Sir Jimmy Savile] Basically The A-Team (1983) rolled into one. He's got the cigar of Hannibal, he's a ladies' man like Face, he's got the jewelry of Mr. T, and he's mad like Murdock. And not in a good way.
Just go into Ladbrokes tomorrow and put a thousand pounds on anyone in the Special Olympics "because they're all winners". You try telling that to Ladbrokes. "He won." "He came in eighth, mate." "He's a winner." "Fuck off out of the shop."
I love quoting great men. Ricky Gervais.
The Jimmy Savile waxwork I got cheap from Madame Tussaud's is doing a great job at my front gate keeping the trick-or-treaters away. Ha ha.
What must've happened to you in your life to make you want to kill a beautiful animal and then lie next to it smiling?
The only reason I work out is to live longer so I can eat more cheese and drink more wine.
[on Netflix acquiring his movie Special Correspondents (2016) for 2016] Having shaken up the TV industry, Netflix is about to do the same to Hollywood. It's great to be part of the changing future.
I'm not a wolf in sheep's clothing. I'm a wolf in wolf's clothing.
Future generations will view us as barbarians for bullfighting, enslaving dolphins and killing for fake medicine. And they should. It's mental.
Off to bed as I have to get up at Twat O'clock tomorrow for the first day filming on Special Correspondents (2016). Night.
Everyone I've admired has been an acquired taste--The Simpsons (1989), Radiohead, David Bowie. Anything that captures everyone soon outstays its welcome.
Twitter is like road rage.
I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless the next man is Mel Gibson!
[Ellen Interview] It's an odd question, isn't it? "Why don't you have children?" It should be "Why do you have children?"
