When I think, where did I laugh the most, where did I eat the most, where did I just feel good all the time, I would say making the Bond movie ‘Die Another Day.’ To be part of such an iconic franchise and to travel to exotic places – that was the most fun I ever had.

The concept of making a movie in which the director dictates is kind of exotic – and absolutely not truthful. Directing means allowing a great deal of collaboration and listening and having the ability to change your mind.
Asian people have a unique way about them and a different sense of beauty. It’s exotic to me. I like they way Asians project their feelings. There’s a hardness to the culture, but at the same time there’s a delicateness.
I think the attraction to Israeli women stems from the fact that we’re exotic and the fact that there are many talented and beautiful women in Israel. I think that there is also greater awareness of Israel than before in the movie industry.

I do remember instances where girls would just fawn over me because they liked that I was different – exotic – to them. And they didn’t use the word ‘Asian’ at the time. All of the aspects that make me Asian, they liked.
We’ve carried that over into the visual development as well. We’ve designed quite an exotic cast of characters, but the last thing we want is to dictate to the players how their PCs should look. What we want to do is inspire.
I used to play a lot of foreign women in my youth because I was prettier then. I would go for interviews, and directors would look at these sultry, exotic looks, hear this clipped accent and think the two don’t go together. So they would give me a foreign accent.
Every era has its own list of ingredients that are considered exotic and then, 15 years later, they’re not.

I don’t enjoy traveling in America. I don’t like the food, the cars. It is not exotic enough. It all tastes a bit like airline food.

During the four years I had spent in New York, I had achieved top status as a model and had worked for the best photographers and designers in the world. I had grown used to hearing that I was exotic and high-fashion.

Canada has really grown and grown as this unexplored and very mysterious and exotic place to me.
I’m interested in finding whether or not there is a really massive, what we like to call ‘super massive’ black hole at the center of our galaxy. And the reason this is interesting is that it gives us an opportunity to prove whether or not these exotic objects really exist.

There was a guy called Carlos Thompson, who was I think Argentinian, and he was doing a series called ‘Sentimental Agent’. That was the very first thing that I did. It was supposed to be taking place in some exotic location, but in actual fact, it was Chertsey with a few shivering potted palms.
At the time of Woodstock, I was just 13, but I used to see these exotic hippy creatures and I did look on with envy. How could you not? In an ideal world, I would have loved to have been a hippy – but I might have been a bit strait-laced. It was my fantasy.
I did not want to be a tree, a flower or a wave. In a dancer’s body, we as audience must see ourselves, not the imitated behavior of everyday actions, not the phenomenon of nature, not exotic creatures from another planet, but something of the miracle that is a human being.
In America, people think being South Asian is still kind of exotic. When you go outside New York and Chicago and L.A., there are people who have never tried Indian food… they’ve never even tasted it!
I don’t really take vacations because when I’m working, it’s usually in a far-flung, exotic place somewhere. But I have a farm in Australia I like to go back to when I’m at home and not working.
Then I began filming a world that I knew quite a bit about. I was peripherally involved in that world much of my life – the exotic reptile world, the collectors, the dealers, the smugglers.
