More From Ricky Gervais

"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."
Hurt Real People
I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
If i am against the condition of the world it is not because i am a moralist, it is because i want to laugh more. i don't say that god is one grand laugh: i say that you've got to laugh hard before you can get anywhere near god. my whole aim in life is to get near to god, that is, to get nearer to myself. that's why it doesn't matter to me what road i take. but music is very important. music is a tonic for the pineal gland. music isn't bach or beethoven; music is the can opener of the soul. it makes you terribly quiet inside, makes you aware that there's a roof to your being.
Laughing Soul Important
Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. in the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. it's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. getting happy, okay? getting happy.
Get Well Writing Making Friends
Trump has not masked who he is. trump has not behaved like the democrats do. he does not go out and camouflage. he doesn't present a side of him that isn't real. he doesn't lie to people about what he believes. although he has broken a serious promise. and he's got some immigration people that voted for him that are a little angry about that. that must be mentioned. but other than that, trump voters know trump is who he is. he doesn't act, he doesn't put on a front, he doesn't make up things - as opposed to the democrats who can't be honest about who they are.
Real Lying Believe
Money can help you to get medicines but not health. money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. attain the supreme wealth, wisdom; you will have everything.

Just to lie here in the sun with great white peaks all around me and the biggest glacier in europe at my feet, to eat from time to time, to sleep a little and dream a great deal- it is a heavenly existence.
Dream Lying Sleep
I was a coward. i used to be haunted by the fear of thieves, ghosts and serpents. i did not dare to stir out of doors at night. darkness was a terror to me. it was almost impossible for me to sleep in the dark, as i would imagine ghosts coming from one direction, thieves from another and serpents from a third. i could not therefore bear to sleep without a light in the room.
Sleep Dark Night
~when valentina was not even 1 month old, my aunt [gave me the best advice]: 'put her to sleep yourself every night. sing to her and cradle her in your arms and sit by her side - every night. because one day you won't be able to, and it's going to happen really fast.~
Sleep Parenting Aunt
From my mother's sleep i fell into the state, and i hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life, i woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. when i died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
