More From Ricky Gervais

I knew that one movie could either kill my career or give birth to it. it's the same thing with nelson. if you fail at nelson [movie about nelson mandela], you don't get to comeback and say, 'well, i was trying. let me do it again.' there are no re-takes.

It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.

I didn't want to hear the usual answers about what's wrong because i believe these are symptoms: global warming, genocide, hunger, poverty, war, environmental crisis. if we can identify the root cause, we can change our ways.
War Believe Hunger Poverty
War is not the only form of violence imposed on people through inadequate social arrangements. there is also hunger, poverty and scarcity. the use of money and the creation of debt fosters economic insecurity, which perpetuates crime, lawlessness and resentment. paper proclamations and treaties do not alter the facts of scarcity and insecurity, and nationalism tends only to propagate the separation of nations and the world's people.
