Richard Gere Biography

On himself:

“I don’t want to be a personality.”

"You've all heard some rumors about me over the years. I guess this is the moment to do it. My name is Richard Gere and I am a l*sbian."

"The secret of my success is my hairspray."

On life:

"If people lose their land, they have nothing. You lose your land, you lose your culture, you lose self."

"This planet can't exist anymore unless all peoples are taken into account. The suffering does not limit itself to one body; it goes through the entire body."

"To read your own mind is to look at your self and read your soul. Hatred becomes love and that is the path I am working on."

“When I am there [Tibet], I am very happy. The Tibetans radiate. They literally send out light. His holiness [the Dalai Lama] 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.”
