More From Ricky Gervais

I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.
People Trying Want
I don't know how much of a natural human i am. y'know, the truth is, i never set out to do that, and i don't think of myself like that. i don't think like that. it's not really about promotion - i don't really understand the idea of promotion, talking to a camera for more money. that's just money. and i like money, don't get me wrong. i don't know. i don't get it. i don't understand it as much as you don't understand me, i think.
Thinking Truth Is Promotion
I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc.

You need just the right amount of ambition . . . if you have too little ambition, you don't push or work hard. if you have too much ambition, you put yourself ahead of others, elbow them out of your way.
Hard Work Ambition Needs
All too often we say of a man doing a good job that he is indispensable. a flattering canard, as so many disillusioned and retired and fired have discovered when the world seems to keep on turning without them. in business, a man can come nearest to indispensability by being dispensable in his current job. how can a man move up to new responsibilities if he is the only one able to handle his present tasks? it matters not how small or large the job you now have, if you have trained no one to do it as well, you're not available; you've made your promotion difficult if not impossible.
Jobs Moving Responsibility
I have an ambition to live 300 years. i will not live 300 years. maybe i will live one year more. but i have the ambition. why you will not have ambition? why? have the greatest ambition possible. you want to be immortal? fight to be immortal. do it. you want to make the most fantastic art or movie? try. if you fail, is not important. we need to try.
