I’m a fan of all genres of music. I have a few country songs I like. I’m not gonna say I’m a huge country fan, but, you know, I listen around.
Musicals and horror movies are my two favorite genres because they’re about extremes.
I want to take up work in different genres.
The global view of cultures is part of my nature. I want to break down the walls between genres, categories, or cultures.
We have such a mixture now, such a fusion of different genres.
I think the buzz of acting is playing people different to you, and for me, that means traversing all genres.
At the end of the day, the Grammys are about recognizing genres that are making an impact.
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.
I’ve done so many genres of films in my career; I’ve done 91 films so far. But never a thriller. That’s how ‘Oppam’ happened.
The literature of menopause is the saddest, the most awful, and the most medical of all genres. You’re sleepless, you’re anxious, you’re fat, you’re depressed – and the advice is always the same: take more walks, eat some kale, and drink lots of water. It didn’t help.
‘The Human Condition’ is me exploring some ideas and thoughts that I have that don’t fit one sound. I’m giving emotions a sound – it’s a fusion of genres. There are four EPs in ‘The Human Condition’; each title is a different emotion.
Becoming an artist and finding my way, I did kind of veer off into different genres and none of them ever fit.
Read. Read. Read. Read many genres. Read good writing. Read bad writing and figure out the difference. Learn the craft of writing.
I feel like every day I discover new actors and new filmmakers and different genres, and it’s just so cool.
I think, for me, winning opens doors to all types of shapes and sizes and genres to come on the show and kill it. I’m probably the antithesis of what American Idols have been.
I grew up with all different genres of music, and I want to include that in my production as well.
I like a lot of movies. I like all types of genres. I like the classics – comedy, action.

I learned about embracing all different genres as opposed to just getting attached to one.
I’m not educated about cinema or genres.
Some of my fans tell me that my voice is more suited for romantic numbers, some others say I do Sufi songs better. But that just goes to say that people are more aware of the different genres now. More people are getting exposed to sufi music because of Bollywood, which is good.
The thing about places like Trinidad and Jamaica is that they can be very musically insular. There isn’t much space for kids making hip-hop, electronic music, or hybrid genres.
In the past, in the ’60s and ’70s, genres were much more segmented. You had action guys who were deadly serious about it, and I think you had comics that were comics.
I don’t have a genre because I play lots of different music that people would say are different genres.
It’s hard enough to get any movie made, and when you take on these tough genres – and I’ve done it a couple times – it just makes the whole struggle more.
I always say that the horror genre and the comedy genre are close cousins because they are the two genres where you are attempting to elicit an involuntary vocal response from a crowd of people and you instantly know whether it’s working or not.
I don’t understand why we give up genres, and the Western is a great genre. It’s a part of the rich history of cinema and who we are as we’ve evolved as people, as a community.
We’ve had different genres within our genre for so long that people just fail to realize that it’s going to keep repeating and we’re watching the cycle repeat again.
I love mixing up my genres.
As someone who writes and teaches YA fiction, I spend a lot of time trying to define its character and readership, and I don’t think I’m alone – genres are all about boundary drawing, and the YA genre is, in a lot of ways, about carving out boundaries around adolescence, a space for teenagers to do teenage things.
I think festivals have a responsibility to show different genres of music to people.
‘I Am Number Four’ definitely borrows from a whole bunch of genres and has a whole bunch of different themes throughout. And I think if it was just one stale two-dimensional thing then it would be kind of boring. And I think they did a fantastic job.
The thing that’s amazing about working with Chris Landon is that he has such an encyclopedic knowledge of all films in all genres.
If there was just music without any genres, then people would look at a lot of things afresh, and approach a record without any preconceptions.
I see myself more as an action director. All right, I do enjoy intense, bloodthirsty action but I like to blend and cross genres. I don’t want to be too predictable.
As an actor, I am meant to dabble with different themes and genres.
The upside to doing commercials is you have to work in a lot of different genres and make stuff that you never thought you’d be making.
Rom-coms have been one of my favorite genres of movies since I can remember. My favorite movie of all-time is ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral,’ and then ‘When Harry Met Sally,’ and ‘Annie Hall’ is top five.
It’s important to immerse myself in one thing at a time to do it well, but I could never do one thing only. I will always be a poet and a singer, because I’m interested in bending genres and pushing boundaries of what is considered a poem, what is considered a song.
Switching genres actually motivates me.
I’m a fan of all these genres of music, everything from Mumford & Sons to Beach Boys to doo-wop music to reggae.
I love acting in different genres and in recent times, ‘D for Dopidi’ was one such film; however, more often, I am approached to do love stories.
The genres are widening. I don’t think that there’s as many limitations on the kinds of projects that actors can do as there once was.
I think the filmmakers that I love are ones that cross genres and do different thinks, the way that David O. Russell can do something like ‘Flirting With Disaster’ but then go do ‘Three Kings’ which is like an incredibly visual film – that’s a huge reference point.
In Hollywood it’s really tough to change genres; you have to re-prove yourself.
I work pretty fluidly across all genres.
I keep myself open to singing in different genres like classical dance songs, light classical folk, etc. There’s so much to learn and I’m glad I’m on the right path.
I want to explore diverse genres.
I try not to discriminate against genres.
‘Elect the Dead’ is a rock record that takes you on a journey with different types of genres integrated, different lyrical themes digested, and many fun and colorful moments to enjoy.
To all my soap fans out there, my horror fanatics, comedy lovers, I will tell you this: ‘Death Valley’ is an action-packed drama, comedic, horror TV series that has a non-stop adventure in each episode. It’s like a huge pot of Texas gumbo. If you like all four of those genres, then you’ll love this show.
I love changing my roles. I think the most important thing that I can do for myself is to keep changing the genres, the periods, the characters themselves.
I love music. I love every kind of extreme sort of music, and many different genres, and if I were to have to dedicate myself to just one kind of genre, I would feel kind of gypped. I’d be like, man, I wish I could do this or that. And really all it takes is trying it out.
There’s no reason why a writer shouldn’t explore and use different genres.
The two genres that probably take the most flack in literature – they are young adult and romance right now. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these are genres that provide places for women to express desire and love for adventure, for the opportunity to be placed to heroic roles.
Horror is one of the few genres that allows you to explore areas in film that normally you wouldn’t otherwise.
‘Temeraire’ is a terrific meld of two genres that I particularly love – fantasy and historical epic.
To me, new friends, new genres, new person-to person chemistry is the DNA of EDM.
I never wanted to stay in one genre; I never wanted to be pigeon-holed or defined as the actor who only worked in one genre. I want to be able to work in all different genres. For me it’s fun, and that’s how I grow as an actor.
I like Sam Smith and Taylor Swift. I love pop music, but I also like Sam Smith’s slow songs. That would be more to dance to. I think dancers like different genres of music, compared to just a regular person.
In the culture at large, the war over science fiction’s creative validity has been long since won, but guardians at the gates of literature, movies, and TV linger unconvinced, even as other genres fitfully transcend critical perceptions of insubstantiality.
