I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.
Richard Gere
Image
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.

Image
I have a lot of beautiful friends.
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
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
My first encounter with Buddhist dharma would be in my early 20s. Like most young men, I was not particularly happy.

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
Image
I'm younger than I once was. Internally. Less self-conscious. Less insecure.
Richard Gere
Image
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.

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.

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!'

Tibetan Buddhism had an enormous impact on me.
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
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
Image
There are some problems on this planet that seem to be intractable.
Richard Gere

When someone has a strong intuitive connection, Buddhism suggests that it's because of karma, some past connection.
