In the process of developing a character, you do, in fact, start to take him on as a personality. It's part of my job.
Richard Gere
Image
The drive for happiness is vital it's what keeps us in motion.
Richard Gere
Image
I honestly do not think about celebrity or image or sexual expectations on me. It only comes up when people have a list of questions. But what I am told is that there is a quality that I have onscreen, where it's a little bit of everything.
Richard Gere
Image
I think movies probably are a mirror in some way so we can see ourselves in them.
Richard Gere
Image
Meditation is such a more substantial reality than what we normally take to be reality.
Richard Gere
Image
Any political situation has many sides... We intellectualize the whole situation any way... We make our intellectual decisions based on our cultural background and how we live.
Richard Gere
Image
I've always said it's flattering to be desired, just as it's flattering that people accept the reality of the character you play. But it was always ridiculous to assume that because I could play a gigolo on screen I'd play anything like that role off screen.

One of the joys of being an actor is that you're always learning new things. And I've been doing this since I was 19, so there's been a lot of new things I have learned for each part. I always assume that I can do it.
Richard Gere
Image
Sometimes I'm kind of spacey. I'm like Ferdinand the bull, sniffing the daisy, not aware of time, of what's going on in the real world.
Richard Gere
Image
I think life is self-examination. Certainly the voyage that one takes.
Richard Gere
Image
I just had a device made that fits in your mouth and juts your jaw out like you have an underbite. It locks in that position to keep your throat passage open when you sleep. This is the sacrifice I make for my wife. It was either this device or me sleeping in the other room.
Richard Gere
Image
I've lived in New York when I've had nothing, and I've lived in New York when I had money, and New York changes radically depending on how much money you have. It's the texture of life.
Richard Gere
Image
People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
Richard Gere
Image
His Holiness [the Dalai Lama] has told me, urgently and repeatedly, that he thinks my photographs are crap. His exact words were, 'These photos are of poor quality. Why is there no sharp focus? There is no clarity!' I said, 'But your Holiness, it's Goyaesque.' And he said, 'No! It's out of focus!'
Richard Gere
Image
Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.
Richard Gere
Image
I'm a 50 year-old guy and I'm not in shape like I was when I was 30.
Richard Gere
Image
When His Holiness won the Nobel Peace Prize, there was a quantum leap. He is not seen as solely a Tibetan anymore he belongs to the world.
Richard Gere
Image
I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.
Richard Gere
Image
The idea of fixing of healing is an important part of any genuine spiritual approach. Kabbalah is very much about this idea of fixing of things that have been damaged. From a Buddhist point of view, things have been damaged because ignorance has intoxicated the mind.

(Sometimes when) someone's directing for the first time, they're afraid to include everyone - they have to prove they're the director.
