More quotes by Richard Gere

Image
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
Image
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
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.
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
Relationships are like sharks. They've got to keep going into deeper, colder water, sometimes scarier, darker territories ... to stay alive.
Richard Gere
Image
I tend to be a bit of a dreamer.
Richard Gere
Image
I've got a lot of opportunities, a lot of love in my life, a lot of things going for me. Still, it's not complete. I know this is not the whole thing. There's much more.

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
It's human nature - we want to believe our children, our families, our President!
Richard Gere
Image
Mindfulness is a quality that's always there. It's an illusion that there's a meditation and post-meditation period, which I always find amusing, because you're either mindful or you're not.
Richard Gere
Image
In a way, one gets stability from being able to order the rational mind.
Richard Gere
Image
If the United States marches into Iraq without the backing of the United Nations, that will be done entirely without the backing of the American people.
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
Anything that's expanding the mind and heart is happiness. But it's not a goal.
Richard Gere
Image
I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.
Richard Gere

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!'

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.

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.

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

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.
