I am not content at all. I am a very greedy actor, I just want to keep exploring myself.
After preliminary research, I zero in on an idea, and then I spend at least four months exploring the topic and in plot-building. I jot down every single detail of the plot as bullet points per chapter, and only when the skeleton is complete do I start writing.
Political correctness may make for smooth edges, but it does little for the imagination and nothing for the arts. Writers work best when they are exploring at the outer limits of what is traditional, acceptable, or conventional.
I look on most religions as fear-based rather than love-based. I’ve drifted away from all that. Yes, I think I’m more spiritual. I just don’t go and pretend every Saturday or Sunday that I’m in this wonderful club. I’m exploring.
And you know, I’ve done a lot of research and I’ve been working on projects that embrace people who are tortured, or exploring what that is.
I grew up surrounded by all types of cultures – French, Indian, Arabic – a melting pot of cultures, sounds, foods, people, and religions. It opened my eyes early, and I’m grateful for that. It’s not about success in one area; it’s about exploring the world musically and spending time in those places whenever you can.
I think that kids aren’t even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don’t even know what they could do.
Science at NASA is all about exploring the endless frontier of the Earth and space.
You should be having more fun in high school, exploring things because you want to explore them and learning because you love learning-not worrying about competition.
Food is my big connect to Old City, and I discovered the culture and history of the city by exploring food joints.
I’m just focused on exploring new opportunities.
In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.
The act of exploring what the men are, and moreover the separation of the good from the evil, is visitation; and the good are then removed, and the evil are left behind.
Stage is all real; it’s just as honest except it’s bigger. I love stage, I love TV and film, so I think I’ll just keep exploring and try to keep a really full picture.
Well, I think that the most exciting stage of any tour is getting the tour together. Because when new material works, there is no other feeling like that. It’s just brilliant. And for the first half of the tour, you’re still often finding the extra stuff in that material. You’re exploring it every night.
By exploring the political and moral colorings of discoveries about what makes us tick, we can have a more honest science and a less fearful intellectual milieu.
On energy, we should be exploring for domestic sources of energy.
In 2010, there was a TED event called Mission Blue held aboard the Lindblad Explorer in the Galapagos as part of the fulfillment of Sylvia Earle’s TED wish. I spoke about a new way of exploring the ocean, one that focuses on attracting animals instead of scaring them away.
Why is there space rather than no space? Why is space three-dimensional? Why is space big? We have a lot of room to move around in. How come it’s not tiny? We have no consensus about these things. We’re still exploring them.
I was interested with exploring the idea of who gets to be in possession of the land – how it’s sometimes impossible to go back home, how family can be the thing that drags you down.
I believe it is time for me to begin a new chapter in my life by spending more time with my family and exploring new opportunities here at home in Arkansas.
I’m fascinated with acting now. In retrospect, I was only beginning to chip off the tip of the iceberg with how far I can go or what I was exploring inside of me that I hadn’t touched in a while as far as emotional headspaces.
Honestly, I don’t focus on what my writing is called. I don’t mean to sound artsy and pretentious, I just really can’t think of things in that way. For me, the point is telling a story that keeps people up past bedtime, while hopefully exploring ideas that resonate.
After Land I wanted to continue exploring the theme but I needed a new challenge so turned to colour. I explored Bradford and produced a series of urban landscapes that I liked, but because Land had made such an impact on the general public my colour work wasn’t reviewed.
I think that when humans get around to exploring and building cities and towns on Mars, it will be viewed as one of the great times of humanity, a time when people set foot on another world and had the freedom to make their own world.
Honestly, I’m interested in politics; I’m interested in giving back in some form, performing some sort of civic duty. But I’m not exploring a run for governor or senator or anything along those lines. I’m focused on running Disney.
Our criteria is that it’s okay to invest in companies so long as they stop lobbying in Washington, stop exploring for new hydrocarbons, and sit down with every one else to plan to keep 80 percent of the reserves in the ground.
I think I’m better than I was in my younger days, because I’m exploring deep lyrical material, and I’ve been sober for a while now.
What Joe and I get excited by, creatively, is exploring all of the different forms of filmmaking.
When I was finishing ‘Now You See Me 2,’ I remember thinking about exploring the Asian-American identity side of my brain.
If I was continuously and completely doing films, exploring the medium and had the opportunity to do different characters, I probably would have known a little more about my strength, weakness, what I love doing, my forte – you learn this with experience. I didn’t have enough of that.
Utilitarianism is a philosophy from the olden days exploring the idea that whatever is best for the majority is the fairest.
Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people’s lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.
People make a star out of actors after one or two films and keep capitalising on the same thing without having the courage of exploring the world of cinema, which has so much to offer.
I wrote a song on the record called ‘Flawed Design’ and it’s basically looking at that, and it was just exploring how everybody obviously has flaws. I think to embrace those flaws – enjoy them, embrace them – and actually be a real person is something that a lot of people struggle with, myself included.
My job as an entertainer is to take you some place else. I love exploring different genres of music to please my fans.
I have not eaten a lot of insects. I ate a termite in Africa, but it was on a bet. It was a soldier termite. It was alive, and I don’t really recommend the live soldier termite as something you want to start with if you’re going to start exploring eating insects.
In my opinion, if you want to pursue an art, especially acting, you have to be really perceptive of what people go through. There is so much bad in the world, and I think that acting it out and exploring it almost helps you deal with it.
I love travelling and exploring different places in India and around the world.
My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.
I’m not someone so much interested in exploring a slice of life unless that is down the corridor, around the corner, up the alley, and down the rabbit hole. That, I like.

I am happiest when I am with my wife, Susi, and our two boys exploring and loving something for the first time.
I started by just sitting by the chessboard exploring things. I didn’t even have books at first, and I just played by myself. I learnt a lot from that, and I feel that it is a big reason why I now have a good intuitive understanding of chess.
I started down South, that’s where my heart is. But I’m open to exploring Bollywood.
I love exploring New York and I think that’s what is so exciting about it. You find places that you’ve never heard of or seen before all the time.
Successful technologies often begin as hobbies. Jacques Cousteau invented scuba diving because he enjoyed exploring caves. The Wright brothers invented flying as a relief from the monotony of their normal business of selling and repairing bicycles.
I haven’t done any genealogical exploring myself, though members of my family and also of my husband’s family have traced things back. I have a great grandfather on my mother’s side who was a musician, and I’d like to know more about his life.
I’m always thinking about identity. And the middle-school years are a time of exploring questions about who you are and who you want to be. For the first time, you see the world in a broader sense.
Apart from being a trained dancer, I love exploring new styles of dancing.
Many researchers are exploring other forms of AI, some of which have proved useful in limited contexts; there may well be a breakthrough that makes higher levels of intelligence possible, but there is still no clear path yet to this goal.
The opportunity to be able to tell long-form character stories is something that TV affords and is therefore a terrain that a lot of filmmakers are interested in exploring.
