More quotes by Richard Gere
I have no sense of time, and I'm a dreamer.
Richard Gere
I don't think that bravery is about skin. Bravery is about a willingness to show emotional need.
Richard Gere
(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
Tibetan Buddhism had an enormous impact on me.
Richard Gere
Things come out of nowhere, and you start evaluating the director, the cast, and all those other things going into it.
Richard Gere
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.
Richard Gere
I don't know any of us who are in relationships that are totally honest - it doesn't exist.
Richard Gere
I'm rarely in a situation where, if you have a good idea, it's not embraced. That's stupid. And I don't work with stupid people.
Richard Gere
When you work as an actor, you've got to feel safe even in what appears to be the simplest things.
Richard Gere
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
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
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
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.
Richard Gere
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
I think most of our religious institutions are pretty corrupt, so they're not reliable. I think the Christian religion that I was brought up with has very little to do with Christ, really, and more an institutions that have built up around the church.
Richard Gere
On a movie set that works, you have your father figure, the director, you have your siblings, your other actors.
Richard Gere
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
Food is the only beautiful thing that truly nourishes.
Richard Gere
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
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
