The whole novelty and challenge of playing twins is something that has kept things wonderfully fresh for me. Just the pure joy and freedom of being able to explore so many facets of not just one, but two, different characters at once is a very singular experience.
I wanted to explore Korean-American characters. And ‘Columbus’ did address that. The father-son dynamic felt very real to me.
Acting is an opportunity for me to try to explore and examine and expose humanity’s weaknesses that are intrinsic to our nature as humans and learn from them; thereby, it’s like a sociological expose.
When you create a character, you create it for yourself – you do whatever you want. It’s your job to explore it in as many different avenues as you can in order to make it a fully wounded character.
What ‘Short Term 12’ did was it gave me the confidence to explore my intuition more. The healing process that came for me for making that movie and then sharing it with people – I was able to see, first hand, that movies can have a healing power and they can teach us things.
I never dreamt of becoming a ballerina. I was just curious about it, it was something to explore.

I think it’s time to explore our relationship to the hereafter and the now and determine whether or not there is a part mankind can play at this time to forestall the nuclear bubble breaking and the world coming to an end.

For cyclone-proof energy infrastructure, we would definitely explore all possibilities, including international support.
I discovered the fun of genre is… you get to explore your fears, and you get to use the metaphor of the genre – whether it’s a giant monster or a… 12-year-old vampire. Whatever it is, you can sink something underneath the surface and make a personal film under the guise of great fun romp.
Aaah, summer – that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It’s a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.

Hip-hop – it’s the safari: it allows people who aren’t under those circumstances to come closer to inner-city life, to explore it without actually being in danger. It’s something kids in middle America indulge in to be rebellious.
You know I never used to be a bad flyer, but I did start to have a fear of flying after I shot a movie where I was terrorized on a plane. I made Wes Craven’s ‘Red Eye’. I don’t think they’re linked but it does make me pause and wonder if they are, so perhaps I will explore that in therapy some day.
I’ve done a lot of comedy recently, so I would really like to explore something else. I am hankering after a really meaty, dramatic role… like Natalie Portman’s part in Black Swan.’

You can always say that it was scarce dollars when Lewis and Clark wanted to go to the West Coast and explore the West. And people complained about it, I understand, from a reading of the history books.

The history of exploration across nations and across time is not one where nations said, ‘Let’s explore because it’s fun.’ It was, ‘Let’s explore so that we can claim lands for our country, so that we can open up new trade routes; let’s explore so we can become more powerful.’

There are many spokes on the wheel of life. First, we’re here to explore new possibilities.
I get very frustrated by this term ‘genre exercise.’ I mean, what exactly is that? Genre is not really relevant when you are writing a song; hopefully you are doing it to explore something, to create something, and I don’t agree that any of my albums are genre exercises.
If there’s no limit to how big the entropy can get, then you can start anywhere, and from that starting point, you’d expect entropy to rise as the system moves to explore larger and larger regions of phase space.

I like working on stories where I can explore the darker corners of childhood without illustrations but with humor.
I have a pretty positive view of environmental activism, but I didn’t know much about the ELF. A lot of people make documentaries because they have something they want to say, but I make them because there’s something I want to explore.
Computers let people avoid people, going out to explore. It’s so different to just open a website instead of looking at a Picasso in a museum in Paris.
