More quotes by Richard Gere
It was important for me to have a partner who was ballsy.
Richard Gere
As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness.
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
Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.
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
A lot of making a movie is the comfort level of the people. It's just feeling open. We need to get along. We have to know something about each other.
Richard Gere
People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.
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
When you work as an actor, you've got to feel safe even in what appears to be the simplest things.
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
Well I think on a simple ecological level that the diversity of this planet is important for our survival, that all of our different cultures, people are important to the health of the whole the same way that a species of animal should be saved and at a simple ecology level.
Richard Gere
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
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
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
On a movie set that works, you have your father figure, the director, you have your siblings, your other actors.
Richard Gere
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.
Richard Gere
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
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
I don't regret anything. Everything happens for a reason-it's part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.
Richard Gere
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
