When I started acting, it was really the way for me to be able to communicate.
Richard Gere
Image
I think life is self-examination. Certainly the voyage that one takes.
Richard Gere
Image
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.
Richard Gere
Image
People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.
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.

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!'

Why is it when we have 10 million people in this country who say 'No', we still have a president who says 'Yes.' In a democracy, something's wrong here.
Richard Gere
Image
When you work as an actor, you've got to feel safe even in what appears to be the simplest things.
Richard Gere
Image
I can't say I have control over my emotions I don't know my mind. I'm lost like everyone else. I'm certainly not a leader.
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
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 think movies probably are a mirror in some way so we can see ourselves in them.
Richard Gere
Image
America has never paid any attention to other people, so it's absurd for Bush to say that it's all in the best interests of the Iraqi people.
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.
Richard Gere
Image
(Sometimes when) someone's directing for the first time, they're afraid to include everyone - they have to prove they're the director.
Richard Gere
Image
I would say that the West is very young, it's very corrupt. We're not very wise. And I think we're hopeful that there is a place that is ancient and wise and open and filled with light.
Richard Gere
Image
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.

Image
When I am in Tibet, I am very happy. The Tibetans radiate. They literally send out light. The Dalai Lama's holiness generates love and compassion to every human being. He has committed himself to that. I haven't made that leap yet. I haven't given up self-aspiration. I still love making movies.

I'm a 50 year-old guy and I'm not in shape like I was when I was 30.
