I can see the character in a photograph, in the way a guy stands or holds his hands, the way he buckles his belt. I fantasize a lot looking at photographs. I'm sure that doesn't work for many people.

I think life is self-examination. Certainly the voyage that one takes.

Shooting in New York can be a problem... I had to walk through a crowd, come in the front door, and play the scene.

I do think that good actors can do any part. It doesn't mean that they are the best ones to do it.
Richard Gere

Sometimes it's an external approach where one can learn the skills required, let's say, learn to play the trumpet and in that process other things happen. It's magical: through the process of practicing four hours a day you start focusing on emotion and when you pick up the trumpet it's filled with feeling.

It's rare that a good writer will sit down and write a good script. Writers are greedy too, and they don't want to work without getting paid. But quality will find its way out.
Richard Gere
Image
I've always maintained that all characters and all personalities are in all of us. The whole thing is available. You're not this or that, no one is.
Richard Gere
Image
I haven't worked with people who are jealous or competitive. That's a particularly deadly attitude to have when you're working on a film.

I've had an interesting life.
Richard Gere
Image
I can’t remember that I was ever looking for anything. I was waiting for something to touch me. It’s like, I’ll be open to it, and see if it moves me. There has to be a falling in love moment.

My first encounter with Buddhist dharma would be in my early 20s. Like most young men, I was not particularly happy.

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!'

Everyone seems to think they know what acting techniques are. Techniques just help you get to a certain place, but if the thing is happening just by itself you don't need those techniques.

People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
