Speaking in March 2015 over his decision to do so, he told the Hindustan Times: "My film decisions are mostly mine, but I'm very careful about not being away from my son, Homer James Jigme Gere, for very long. So, if I have to be away for long, I talk to him about it, and if there is a problem, I don't take up the project. And I have done that. Your family is more important than anything."

It's that you, as an individual, are still trying to figure out who you are always. How do you share that with another person, and does it fit?" "The person that you are today was not the same person you were 50 years ago when the relationship started … so it's a constant checking in,” he added.
