God the father, and even more often the devil himself, appears at times in the place of fate in the modern tragedy. Why is it thatthis has not induced any scholar to develop a theory of the diabolical genre?
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Image
I started as a black-and-white teenage photographer, and I'm still there decades after. In some ways, the genre is almost gone. I am thinking of true, stubborn, lifetime black-and-white photographers, as opposed to black-and-white as a photographic commodity.
Hedi Slimane
Image
The great thing about the arts, and especially popular music, is that it really does cut across genres and races and classes.
Bonnie Raitt
Image
Americans have known about mounting inequality and king-sized Wall Street bonuses for years. But we also had an entire genre of journalism dedicated to brushing the problem off.
Thomas Frank
Image
The reason I got into this business was for the privilege to exist in different genres and different worlds and play out different realities.
Lake Bell
Image
I do love genres, but I love finding new ways into the genre, or making that world fresh again.
John Hillcoat
Image
The biggest question I have is if you're a rock singer or a rock 'n' roll band, or if you're a pop singer if you've made your way in another genre of music and now you want to make a country record, why? That's my question. Why?
Joe Nichols
Image
I've written six novels and four pieces of nonfiction, so I don't really have a genre these days.
Anne Lamott
Image
What I'm trying to do is break the genre from what is rap and what is music.
Wyclef Jean
Image
In college I studied essays with a poet, and so I think my interpretation of the genre was always going to be a little off-kilter.
John D'Agata
Image
Getting back into the action genre is like going back home. It's great.
Dwayne Johnson
Image
I don't write genre stuff in any form. I'm not interested in it. I always try to do the opposite of that.
Charlie Kaufman
Image
I dont have a favorite genre. I love to work and live vicariously through every character. Its all about trying to bring the character to life and get the story across in a way that resonates with the audience. Its always interesting and challenging in a gratifying and unique way.
Catherine Mary Stewart
Image
I think I have allowed my voice to experiment with the different genres. And I think that I have just really enjoyed the journey of getting to know my voice and seeing what it's capable of, what it's not capable of.
K. D. Lang
Image
In his essay on the uncanny, Das Unheimliche, Freud said that the uncanny is the only feeling which is more powerfully experienced in art than in life. If the horror genre required any justification, I should think this alone would serve as its credentials.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
That's exactly what I'm driving at. 'Basterds' was interesting because it was, in a way, unfamiliar. I thought well, OK. Let's leave the comfort zone and just risk it. Why not? Because, exactly as you said, in a way, by taking that risk, I make up a little bit for my ignorance in the subject, or rather, the genre.
Christoph Waltz
Image
For me, it doesn't matter whether it's a comedy, a Western or horror. As long as you've got a good story to tell, the genre almost doesn't matter. As an actor playing the role, it's all rooted in reality.
Patrick Wilson
Image
You could call it that [urban Western], I guess, you could certainly call it that. A lot of these types of films are, really, if you get down to the core most suspense thrillers in this genre, the Western is sort of the birth of it all.
Antoine Fuqua
Image
There's only one type of music and that's good music, no matter what genre it is.
will.i.am
Image
Labels only confuse people. The smarter people recognize artists who transcend categories. But I always try to entertain. It's in my nature writers are born to entertain. If that means working ostensibly within a genre, fine.
John Shirley
Image
As an actor, I think you can get really bad habits, if you do the same thing, every day. You can get stuck in a rut. So, I like jumping between genres, and then taking a break and learning something new. I like feeling like I'm still learning.
Brie Larson
Image
Science fiction is one of the smartest genres around because you have to have so much forethought.
Amanda Schull
Image
Science fiction is becoming more of a diverse kind of genre.
Anna Torv
Image
I don't know who made up this sort of greatest-hits list for artists. If one artist isn't moving forward anymore, then it's assumed another one is going to take their place. With Francis Bacon's death, a whole genre of art died.
Georg Baselitz
