I have made plenty of mistakes. The key to life is to learn from them. I have been a little too introspective, but I think that stemmed from insecurity or shyness. I took a long time to grow up.
Richard Gere
Image
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.

I have no sense of time, and I'm a dreamer.
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
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.

On a movie set that works, you have your father figure, the director, you have your siblings, your other actors.

There are some problems on this planet that seem to be intractable.
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
Image
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
Image
I have a lot of beautiful friends.
Richard Gere
Image
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
I'm not that tough I'm not that smart. I need life telling me who I am, showing me my mind constantly. I wouldn't see it in a cave.
Richard Gere
Image
I don't regret anything. Everything happens for a reason-it's part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.
Richard Gere
Image
Food is the only beautiful thing that truly nourishes.
Richard Gere
Image
I'm younger than I once was. Internally. Less self-conscious. Less insecure.
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
When you get up in the morning, set your motivations.
Richard Gere
Image
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.
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
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.
