Genre Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a fan of books that create an interesting blend of fact and fiction - whether it’s Norman Mailer, or ‘The Short Timers,’ or ‘In Cold Blood.’ I’m a fan of that genre Picture Quote #1

I tend to fall more into the fun horror genre than the traumatic horror genre. I love the films where you’re laughing as much as screaming, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like the other ones Picture Quote #1

I have my library separate from the family home, and every room is a different genre. The only room that I can guarantee I’ve read everything is the horror room Picture Quote #1

As for genre, my adult books are usually filed under science fiction / fantasy, although some stores put them into romance, and few have stuck them into horror. I consider all my books a mix of steampunk and urban fantasy Picture Quote #1

Fantasy is my genre and my home in the writing world. I consider it the biggest writing room in all literature, where there are literally no boundaries at all Picture Quote #1

My favorite movies are the ones that are different the second time, or where you’re constantly discovering new things. It’s not just genre movies, either, and it’s not just about twists. I saw ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ four times in the theater before I realized it’s a love story. I love that Picture Quote #1

Hip-hop wasn’t actually the genre that made me want to make sound, and I couldn’t actually really pinpoint what genre it was. Growing up, my favorite music was my parents’ music, and eventually I started to develop some taste of my own Picture Quote #1

My uncle is from Trinidad, so, ever since I was 7, I grew up listening to Soca, the genre that’s from there. It’s my favorite sound Picture Quote #1

There is a sort of genre of optimistic science fiction that I like, and I don’t think there is enough of. One of my favourites is a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, ‘The City and the Stars.’ It’s set in this far future on Earth in this somewhat static society and trying to break out Picture Quote #1

Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally Picture Quote #1

If you look at the horror genre, that work is all about making people uncomfortable by stimulating our fear of death Picture Quote #1

If it’s got the feeling, if the music moves you or not, it doesn’t matter what the genre is to me Picture Quote #1

I think the type of actor I am, I tend to play strong leading female characters. The shows I’ve been on happen to be science fiction genre Picture Quote #1

Sometime female characters, especially in the genre of something that people consider rom-com, make mistakes in a cute way or they’re a mess in a way that’s palatable. I like that Picture Quote #1

As a writer who writes poetry, nonfiction, and fiction, I think it’s important to always maintain a firm grasp on genre and ethics Picture Quote #1

...[T]he only means I have to stop ignorant snobs from behaving towards genre fiction with snobbish ignorance is to not reinforce their ignorance and snobbery by lying and saying that when I write SF it isn’t SF, but to tell them more or less patiently for forty or fifty years that they are wrong to exclude SF and fantasy from literature, and proving my arguments by writing well Picture Quote #1

I’ve spoken out my whole life against the idea of simply dismissing whole areas of fiction by saying it’s genre and therefore can’t be seen as literature Picture Quote #1

Novels written by university professors and set in the groves of academe are far more rigidly predictable than anything but the most routine science fiction novel, but they have escaped the stigma of being labeled as genre Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do a cop film in America. That’s a genre I absolutely adore Picture Quote #1

With a genre like film noir, everyone has these assumptions and expectations. And once all of those things are in place, that’s when you can really start to twist it about and mess around with it Picture Quote #1

Before ‘Final Fantasy VII,’ I would have told you that I had zero interest in RPGs with turn-based combat. But that game was so well done, I didn’t care what genre it was. Any genre can be done poorly or done well Picture Quote #1

The biggest thing about me, as an actor, is I’m never a finished product, you know? I always want to try something or be in a new genre because, one, it’s much more fun to do that because you’re not doing the same thing over and over Picture Quote #1

What I like is not a particular genre, it’s storytelling. There’s a lot of great storytelling in jazz, and in folk and in country music. Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve never really liked the idea of genre, a film that follows the rules of a genre Picture Quote #1

I love making genre films. It’s something I’ve really been attracted to since I was a kid, mostly because, as a kid, it was forbidden fruit Picture Quote #1

People who work in horror know they are contributing to a genre that has always been loved and will always be loved - privately. It’s the forbidden evil working behind the curtain. My job scoring a horror movie is like being the barker at a carnival. A good barker can get anyone to walk into the roped-off tent Picture Quote #1

I keep waiting for a paradigm shift to happen that will let network and studio execs see that sci-fi is the same as any other genre in terms of how you approach it - logically, character-based, with challenging ideas and forward thinking - but I worry that it might never happen in my lifetime Picture Quote #1

It’ll die down like every other genre, but horror has always been one of the four or five main genres that will never go away Picture Quote #1

I chose to stylize ‘Among Friends’ and add a dark comedic element because I didn’t want to get pigeonholed as a genre director. I have a pretty dark sense of humor and knew that in order to get distribution, I had to do something in the genre for my first time out Picture Quote #1
