Hotel 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.
Ricky GervaisI'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.
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 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 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!
