Genres Quotes

I’m developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything’s possible Picture Quote #1

By reading a lot of novels in a variety of genres, and asking questions, it’s possible to learn how things are done - the mechanics of writing, so to speak - and which genres and authors excel in various areas Picture Quote #1

Some genres I’m not a huge fan of but there are always exceptions that break the rules. There are always a few people doing it in a way weird enough to grab my attention Picture Quote #1

As a person who has a pretty short attention span I think of music like that, completely. That’s why I can quite happily change genres mid-song Picture Quote #1

Genres aren’t closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge cinemaphile. My interest in filmmaking came out of experimenting with different genres, and I wanted to go back to working in a way that was more personal, which, for me, was artwork. Commercials and films are more collaborative Picture Quote #1

There’s good movies and there’s bad movies. The genres are never dead, it’s just about how to apply them and articulate them and execute them - the story, the quality of the writing, the acting, the design elements, the directorial execution - all these things make it what it is Picture Quote #1

I’m a fan of all these genres of music, everything from Mumford and Sons to Beach Boys to doo-wop music to reggae Picture Quote #1

I want people to hear really exciting music played by the best, but in a context where they can clap when they want to, chase their toddlers, drink beer, take photos, get lost in the music and generally be themselves. And because a field has no rules, it’s the perfect place to create unlikely combinations of musical genres Picture Quote #1

The good part of working in TV is it’s like being a studio director in old Hollywood and approaching different genres. It’s a chance to try out different styles Picture Quote #1

I just love variety. I love being able to do different things. Do period pieces and sci-fi. I love being able to move between genres and be flexible Picture Quote #1

Genres are like the surface of the ocean. There are waves and things moving, but you don’t instantly see all the reefs and ecosystems that’s happening beneath the surface Picture Quote #1

Considered purely as effects-driven filmed drama, ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ checks in somewhere in the middle of one of Hollywood’s most absurd and least lamented dead genres, the disaster pic of the 70s. It’s a little better than ‘Earthquake’ but not as good as ‘The Towering Inferno,’ because it doesn’t star Steve McQueen and Paul Newman Picture Quote #1

One of the most refreshing changes I’ve seen in recent years is the blending of genres - the pushing past the hard-and-fast lines of specific publishing categories Picture Quote #1

I would not be surprised to see interesting new forms of expression and literary genres develop as the e-book movement matures Picture Quote #1

I am impressed when music matters, when genres are broken, when spirits are lifted, when people make a difference, and when people are true to themselves Picture Quote #1

I don’t care about the genre so much. I’m good with horror, but I like other genres, too Picture Quote #1

You always want to challenge yourself and work with people you respect. You can’t always go by genres, but it’s always fun to challenge yourself Picture Quote #1

Comedy’s my first love. I love that so much. You play comedy in drama, too. The difference between genres doesn’t really change the method of acting Picture Quote #1

In the past, if you did film, you couldn’t do stage, and if you did film, you certainly didn’t do television. You had to pick what you wanted to be. Now it seems like we can bounce around, not only between genres, but between mediums, and I like that. I like change and I like a good story Picture Quote #1

Films really can change a conversation and change someone’s thinking and perception, especially with people of color at the center. It rarely happens. I think it’s important for both the community but also the world to see people of color in all genres, especially love stories Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at stories in genres. A good story is a good story, no matter what planet it happens on, whether the characters are mice or human or whatever. That’s how I look at it Picture Quote #1

I love how ‘melodrama’ is a denigrated term - a lower-class citizen to other genres. And yet that’s what life is, man Picture Quote #1

In America, even the critics - which is a pity - tend to genre-ize things. They have a hard time when genres get mixed. They want to categorize things. That’s why I love Wes Anderson’s films and the Coen Brothers, because you don’t know what you’re going to get, and very often you get something that you don’t expect and that’s just what a genre’s not supposed to do Picture Quote #1

I am more and more convinced that literature is made up of works, genres, schools, discussions, problems, collective work in order to solve certain problems Picture Quote #1

I’ve been pretty lucky - or slothful - in that I’ve never been a ‘career builder.’ I take the jobs that come along that feel right, and that’s left me fairly open to all genres, really. But with ‘Caprica,’ the complex, dark and very smart script was the draw Picture Quote #1

I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres Picture Quote #1

I started dancing when I was five, and I trained intensively as a competitive dancer up until the end of high school. I did all genres, and later on a did a lot of extra ballet on top of that. I actually got accepted to Julliard for dance during my senior year, but I ultimately turned it down to come to L.A. to act Picture Quote #1

If we’re talking about the science fiction or action genres, I’ve always tried when I could to do them in a way that’s not just cookie-cutter - that they bring something fresh or original to it, have some kind of ideas to it. I’ve been fortunate, in some sense, to do those kinds of movies that are unique Picture Quote #1

There’s an audience out there for all these different types of things. Whether it’s comedy, motion-picture drama, family movie or a cool, cutting-edge indie, it’s nice to know that I can span all those different genres Picture Quote #1
