That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.
Ricky GervaisWhen you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.
Ricky GervaisDaniel 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 GervaisThatโs the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity.
Ricky GervaisIt annoys me that the burden of proof is on us. It should be "You came up with the idea. Why do you believe it?" I could tell you I've got superpowers. But I can't go up to people saying "Prove I can't fly." They'd go: "What do you mean 'Prove you can't fly'? Prove you can!"
Ricky GervaisHotel bars are pretty good. No one bothers me there. Restaurants are safe. People are quite respectful when you're eating. But what I never do now is go to a busy bar on the weekend, or after 8 o'clock at night. That's the danger zone. Also being trapped. Never go on the Metro, or a bus.
