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.

Image
I tend to be a bit of a dreamer.
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
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
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.
Richard Gere
Image
I think movies probably are a mirror in some way so we can see ourselves in them.
Richard Gere
Image
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.

People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
Richard Gere
Image
I'm not that tough I'm not that smart. I need life telling me who I am, showing me my mind constantly. I wouldn't see it in a cave.
Richard Gere
Image
Any political situation has many sides... We intellectualize the whole situation any way... We make our intellectual decisions based on our cultural background and how we live.
Richard Gere
Image
When I started acting, it was really the way for me to be able to communicate.
Richard Gere
Image
I'm a 50 year-old guy and I'm not in shape like I was when I was 30.
Richard Gere
Image
Meditation is such a more substantial reality than what we normally take to be reality.
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
On a movie set that works, you have your father figure, the director, you have your siblings, your other actors.
Richard Gere
Image
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
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.

Julia [Roberts]. She's got two kids and animals, and I think she's a night nibbler. There'd be crumbs everywhere.
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 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
Image
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
