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 GervaisI've never done anything for the common consensus. I do things to please me. If you are happy with something yourself, you become bulletproof.
Ricky GervaisPeople see me, and they see the suit, and they go: "you're not fooling anyone", they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by "the rules" you know.
Ricky GervaisI use people's real voices because I want realism. So often I mention the actors' physicality because I want it to be like a real documentary.
