I think movies probably are a mirror in some way so we can see ourselves in them.
Richard Gere
Image
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
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
I honestly do not think about celebrity or image or sexual expectations on me. It only comes up when people have a list of questions. But what I am told is that there is a quality that I have onscreen, where it's a little bit of everything.
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.

Shooting in New York can be a problem... I had to walk through a crowd, come in the front door, and play the scene.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
When you get up in the morning, set your motivations.

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!'

When someone has a strong intuitive connection, Buddhism suggests that it's because of karma, some past connection.
Richard Gere
Image
I have a lot of beautiful friends.
Richard Gere
Image
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
My first encounter with Buddhist dharma would be in my early 20s. Like most young men, I was not particularly happy.
Richard Gere
Image
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
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
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 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.

Tibetan Buddhism had an enormous impact on me.
