More quotes by 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
I tend to be a bit of a dreamer.
Richard Gere
On a movie set that works, you have your father figure, the director, you have your siblings, your other actors.
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
It was important for me to have a partner who was ballsy.
Richard Gere
I'm younger than I once was. Internally. Less self-conscious. Less insecure.
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
Anything that's expanding the mind and heart is happiness. But it's not a goal.
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
I have no sense of time, and I'm a dreamer.
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
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
Relationships are like sharks. They've got to keep going into deeper, colder water, sometimes scarier, darker territories ... to stay alive.
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 think that as human beings we tend to compartmentalize, and we have a selective morality based on the situation we're in.
Richard Gere
I have a lot of beautiful friends.
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
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 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 I started acting, it was really the way for me to be able to communicate.
Richard Gere
