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 don't regret anything. Everything happens for a reason-it's part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.
Richard Gere

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.
