Writing is a struggle no matter what the genre.
Susan Wiggs
Image
If I see another game that involves a kidnapped princess, queen, king or other royal family member, I'll scream. In the same vein, I think the karate genre has been done to death.
Andy Eddy
Image
Each genre exerts a considerable spell, as a kind of form to be filled, as a Shakespearean sonnet is filled.
Joyce Carol Oates
Image
Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven. In order for it to succeed, you have to dissolve the self into these larger universal truths, and explore these deeper mysteries. If it’s purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it’s going to fail.
Nick Flynn
Image
Autobiography is a genre notorious for falsehood.
Robert Pinsky
Image
I have always touched on different genres whether it has been hip-hop, country and the rock element.
Kid Rock
Image
In some ways we want definitions that can help protect our own interpretations of the genre.
John D'Agata
Image
People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.
Matthew Vaughn
Image
My genre-hopping has caused problems with marketing and sales departments over the years, because they need to know where to position a book with the booksellers.
F. Paul Wilson
Image
I don't consider genre while writing.
Karin Tidbeck
Image
People get bored of hearing the same genre of music over and over again. Observe the current musical landscape and predict what mood people will be in next. Ask yourself what would be the most natural transition or reaction to the current genre. Then create it!
Wendy Starland
Image
It doesn't matter to me whether I go back to outer space or not [while acting]. The job's the same and I don't have any sort of genre preferences. I'm looking for a good story and a good character, whether earthbound or not.
Harrison Ford
Image
Television has - particularly at the HBO level in the United States - become a completely new genre. Something like Deadwood or The Wire is a whole new thing - there was no equivalent to that medium before. It's like a new way of telling stories.
William Gibson
Image
Movies serve many purposes, and I've visited many of those genres, from the most light, frivolous comedy that is just trying to make you laugh, to movies that explore the most complicated side of the human soul. As an actor, I play all of those things, and I still like it.
Antonio Banderas
Image
My goal is to always contribute a part of myself to my music that will result in it sounding authentic, timeless, and real. I feel that this truly comes across in my new album, which is in the Rock genre.
Wendy Starland
Image
I think the industry is oblivious to the fact that most people listen to all kinds of stuff. I personally don't know of anyone who listens to only one genre of music. It's vanity because no one does.
Keith Urban
Image
I never think about genre when I work. I've written fantasy, science fiction, supernatural fiction, and am now working on a suspense novel. Genres are mostly useful as a marketing tool, and to help booksellers known where to shelve a book.
Elizabeth Hand
Image
It's difficult to make the interesting feature films that don't fit easily into a genre, even on modest budgets. It's tough to get those films made, but I'd rather try to get those films made than compromise too much.
Julian Jarrold
Image
Readers respond to every genre intensely, if it's a genre that appeals to them. Again, who can say why anyone enjoys horror and dark fantasy? If I can't answer the question for myself, I wouldn't dream of trying to answer it for others
Laurell K. Hamilton
Image
Comics are not a genre, but a developing language.
Chris Ware
Image
Down the road a bit, I would like to write a couple of stand-alone adult novels, especially in the horror genre. I've got lots of things up my sleeve.
James Dashner
Image
Being black, Latino, or Asian is not a genre. Romantic comedies, thrillers, action - those are genres. I think there's a lot of people who want to have the conversation. I don't think people are afraid of it, I just think it's the time to have that conversation. Race is not a genre.
Mara Brock Akil
Image
I usually just pick a genre of movie that I feel like saluting and then go off and come up with something that I can sort of pay homage to. That's the great thing about our show is we've sort of created a landscape for 'Psych' where we're kind of allowed to go off and give shout-outs to movies that we love, genres that we love.
James Roday
Image
Fantasy is a genre that allows me to create anything I want. That, in turn, allows me to explore any sort of idea I'm curious about. I love it because Fantasy is a genre that asks, What if...? That's my favorite question.
