Genres do exist because frequent users of any large bookstore can instantly tell what any piece of fiction is supposed to be about by its title, its cover and its location in the shop.
I'd like to extend my career a little bit into different genres.
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.
Creatively I just enjoy challenging myself in different genres.
But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.
I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres.
All my movies are difficult to classify because they are very eclectic in mixing genres.
I'm a very outgoing guy when it comes to music and I like all kinds of sounds of music and genres of music.
In Hollywood, you tend to get pigeonholed to certain genres, and then when you try to do something different, it's not always so easy. Obviously, you don't want to keep repeating yourself, all the time. So, it's a constant struggle for every filmmaker and actor to find something that you can really feel passionate about. It's a profession like anything else.
Yes, to me that's one of the most compelling fears in film noir and the psychological thriller genre - that fear of conspiracy. It's definitely something that I have a fear of - not being in control of your own life. I think that's something people can relate to, and those genres are most successful when they derive the material from genuine fears that people have.
Lou Reed's music has been in the lives of millions of people all over the world for decades. He had a truly universal presence and was respected by musicians across all genres.
I don't know where genre really comes from. I grew up with parents who were artists, and I was always interested in what music they were listening to and open to all kinds of genres. So it's nice to see that whole families come to my concerts. I like having an element in my music that is inclusive rather than exclusive, without being pop for the sake of it. It's not important to me how many people listen to it - it's more wonderful that it brings people who wouldn't usually meet into the same room.
I'm in an odd position because I write across so many genres for so many people and they all influence me, and if I'm going to write as honest an album as possible, it's going to be layered.
I don't really concentrate on Urban AC or whatever. I don't concentrate on genres or how people section off songs for radio.
I love mixing up my genres.
At some point, every science fiction and fantasy story must challenge the reader's experience and learning. That's much of the reason why the genre is so open to experimentation and innovation that other genres reject--strangeness is our bread and butter. Spread it thick or slice it thin, it's still our staff of life.
I just want to do as many different genres as I can. I think that's part of it. . . to not get pigeon-holed because if one of them breaks out and becomes a big hit then typically people want to keep putting you in that kind of role.
Music is a big part of my life. I listen to different genres, and I choose the music that will inspire the next part of my story.
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.
The more country that my music gets, the less it fits into the country world today. It's almost like there needs to be two genres, modern country and. . . country?
