More quotes by Richard Gere
Relationships are like sharks. They've got to keep going into deeper, colder water, sometimes scarier, darker territories ... to stay alive.
Richard Gere
Shooting in New York can be a problem... I had to walk through a crowd, come in the front door, and play the scene.
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
Maybe the Dalai Lama is the only person who is totally honest, and even with him, he's skillful not to hurt anybody. He's skillful.
Richard Gere
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
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
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
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
It's nice to have money, but the first thing I did with money was buy my father a snow-blower, because my job was to shovel snow, and I wasn't there to do it any more, so I was able to buy him a blower.
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!'
Richard Gere
My first encounter with Buddhist dharma would be in my early 20s. Like most young men, I was not particularly happy.
Richard Gere
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
When I started acting, it was really the way for me to be able to communicate.
Richard Gere
I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.
Richard Gere
When someone has a strong intuitive connection, Buddhism suggests that it's because of karma, some past connection.
Richard Gere
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
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
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
Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.
Richard Gere
I do my work as an actor, but another part of my work goes to the piece as a whole. I can be fairly detached looking at my work and be brutal on myself.
Richard Gere
