Genres aren't that relevant. Nearly every form of music is a melting pot of things of things.
Jacob Bannon
Image
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.
Charlie Jane Anders
Image
Genre categorization is a capitalist (rather than artistic) thing, a symptom of marketing and major-chain bookshelf placement.
Lee Klein
Image
Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Genre fiction was looked at as a ghetto, but I wonder now if realist fiction, sealing itself off in the glum suburbs of a dysfunctional society, denying the use of imagination, was the ghetto.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Genres have a history and impose a historical character upon the writer. What is interesting in the poem involves a certain kind of dramatization of the self that you don't have to engage in in the essay. In fact, the essay is a more social medium than the poem.

Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.
Amos Lee
Image
Genre might certainly increase some of your narrative freedoms, but it also diminishes others. That's the nature of genre.
Junot Diaz
Image
Genres pop up and get hot and then they die down.
Bruce Campbell
Image
Genre is a minimum security prison.
David Shields
Image
Genre labels are useful only insofar as they help you find an audience.
Walter Jon Williams
Image
Genre is a useful concept only when used not evaluatively but descriptively.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Genres are just bottles for the various boats. The boats matter to me.
Julianna Baggott
Image
Genre stuff is the most exciting stuff for an actor to play. I get to try new things, do things I would have never got the chance to do.
Amy Acker

I think the one thing specifically that is most consistent, is that we want to harken back to martial arts movies because that's kind of the genre we're paying tribute to, so there are some similarities to a lot of films, because they all feed off each other!

Punk is an attitude, not a genre, age group, or time period. What's interesting is trying to define the blues and punk in different ways. They are very close cousins.
Jack White
Image
Nollywood is a genre, and not the entire Nigerian film industry. However none of the 'New wave' of directors in Nigeria would know what was possible without the Nollywood model, so I'm grateful to them for showing us that our stories are of interest to people other than Nigerians. I would describe myself as a filmmaker, period.

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.
Bruce Campbell
Image
Nick Flynn is another writer I admire - his fragmented sections, his playfulness with genre, his urgency. The palette in his work is his style, a voice that is singular, and that's what I think writers should strive for, to have a style and a voice that is only theirs.
Jill Talbot
Image
I like the idea of trying to write a book in every genre.
China Mieville
Image
I just have more fun when I get to try new things - and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys.
Bruce Willis
Image
What interests me about genre is that the public connects immediately with it, it has certain rules, certain codes the audience recognizes. I can use that to create something very big.
Jacques Audiard
Image
I found in general, I got involved in that station toward the end of my freshmen year, and I just loved how there's this incredible library of music that I'd never heard of from all over the world and different genres.
Chris Baio
Image
I have never believed that the critic is the rival of the poet, but I do believe that criticism is a genre of literature or it does not exist.
