My philosophy? Have a laugh for as long as you can and don't get run over. Or stabbed.
Ricky GervaisWhat is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? Itโs the people, investment in people. My proudest moment here wasnโt when I increased profits by 17%, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff. No. It was a young Greek guy, first job in the country, hardly spoke a word of English, but he came to me and he went โMr. Brent, will you be the Godfather to my child?โ. Didnโt happen in the end. We had to let him go, he was rubbish. He was rubbish!
Ricky GervaisThe existence of God is not subjective. He either exists or he doesnโt. Itโs not a matter of opinion. You can have your own opinions. But you canโt have your own facts.
Ricky GervaisI think that's the fundamental thing - you can go anywhere you like as long as you're following a character that the audience likes and understands.
Ricky GervaisI like my baths really deep and hot. But washing everything only takes a few minutes. So I thought it would be a waste to just flush all that water away. So there was nothing else to do but take pictures of myself trying to look as horrendous as possible. Oh my, what have I started?
Ricky GervaisI used to believe in God. The Christian one, that is (There are a few thousand to choose from. But I was born in a country where the dominant religion was Christianity so I believed in that one. Isn't it weird how that always happens?). Luckily I was also interested in science and nature. And reason and logic. And honesty and truth. And equality and fairness. By the age of eight I was an atheist.
