More quotes by 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
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
I don't know any of us who are in relationships that are totally honest - it doesn't exist.
Richard Gere
People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
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
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'm a 50 year-old guy and I'm not in shape like I was when I was 30.
Richard Gere
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
I have a lot of beautiful friends.
Richard Gere
I think movies probably are a mirror in some way so we can see ourselves in them.
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
As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness.
Richard Gere
The drive for happiness is vital it's what keeps us in motion.
Richard Gere
I've had an interesting life.
Richard Gere
(Sometimes when) someone's directing for the first time, they're afraid to include everyone - they have to prove they're the director.
Richard Gere
It was important for me to have a partner who was ballsy.
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 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
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
People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.
