Genre Quotes

I would agree with you that there’s 90% imitation and 10% innovation. That’s true of any genre Picture Quote #1

Entourage [movie] really is established as a genre unto itself, much like the thriller or the horror movie or the comedy. And those things trend Picture Quote #1

It’s a cyclical thing. When they make one, everyone loves them. Different genres come around in succession. People always welcome the western. It’s America’s genre Picture Quote #1

Chick Lit uses humor to reflect life back to us. It’s a very comforting genre, and it’s the first time our generation has had a voice. It’s a very important genre for all of those reasons Picture Quote #1

I want to make my music a genre that people can immediately identify: something that never existed Picture Quote #1

James McMurtry is a true Americana poet - actually he is a poet regardless of genre Picture Quote #1

Film noir is not a genre. It is not defined, as are the western and gangster genres, by conventions of setting and conflict, but rather by the more subtle qualities of tone and mood. It is a film ‘noir’, as opposed to the possible variants of film gray or film off-white Picture Quote #1

Sci-Fi is the genre that explored both possibilities: the end of our existential crisis and the end of our existence. My novel, The 5th Wave, explores the latter scenario, because, frankly, I believe it represents the likeliest outcome of an extraterrestrial encounter. In short, if theyre out there, we better hope they never find us Picture Quote #1

For me, Christianity is not a genre. It’s faith. The Gospel is not a genre either. It’s faith. I definitely understand the semantics of naming things to give them some kind of distinction but I think my faith is pretty distinct. If you want to call it hip hop, essentially it is. That’s the art form Picture Quote #1

I guess I didn’t even know the word ‘genre’ until I did ‘True Blood.’ That’s how naive I was, and I didn’t realize that there was a point of view about certain types of TV. And so I guess I found it disappointing that there is a segment of the critical community that looks at genre as something that is separate, less than Picture Quote #1

Trombone virtuoso and innovative composer, Papo combines the best of jazz and Latin music to create a genre that is unique and wild. He’s redefined Latin jazz! Picture Quote #1

When people say, Your music was the music of the Seventies, I say, So was discoteque. The Seventies was also the highest peak of heavy metal. Pick a genre - they were all alive Picture Quote #1

I think as far as the action genre goes, I like when it has a sense of humor. I’m a Jane Austen/Jane Eyre kind of girl Picture Quote #1

I would love to compose more fantasy music, whether it’s for a film or a game. That genre has so much opportunity for harmonic experimentation, not to mention all the interesting instruments that become available when composing music for alien species and other worlds Picture Quote #1

The actors are different, although I didn’t set out to be different. My inspiration came from people like Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. The genre is what it is. My inspiration was drawn from great movies like 48 Hours, Bad Boys and Rush Hour Picture Quote #1

I was voted Most Humorous in my senior class in high school, and I was a fan of comedy, my whole life. I never got into the horror genre, and action was fine, but I just loved comedy. Any comedy I could get my hands on, I would. I watched Saturday Night Live religiously. I’ve just been a fan of comedy, my whole life Picture Quote #1

Honestly, I had a kid, so you watch the movies your kids want to watch. I’m also a producer, so when I watch movies, I look at them from the genre they are, the budget they had, and the time they had to produce it. That’s how I evaluate their success Picture Quote #1

The four movies I can remember seeing as a kid were ‘The Elephant Man,’ ‘The Magnificent Seven,’ ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’ and ‘Mad Max!’ Two of those are westerns. So the western genre is emblazoned on my memory from childhood, and those are two great movies Picture Quote #1

One of the wonderful things about making a film of any genre is that you have dialogue. You can take up a position. If you want to say something about your position, you can just say it. You don’t have to spend massive amounts of screen time Picture Quote #1

Horror has been a genre since the beginning of cinema, all the way back to the days of silent films. I don’t think it will ever go away because it’s so universal. Humor doesn’t always travel to other countries, but horror does Picture Quote #1

I’m not so arrogant to consider mine the only legitimate art form. I can’t in one breath make a fuss about someone compartmentalizing music into genre and then in the next accuse advertising and short film of not being art Picture Quote #1

No matter what the genre, I want to see me and my friends. I want to see reality. I want to see what we’re really like. I loved Bridesmaids. I thought it was the most honest portrayal of female friendship in such a long time Picture Quote #1

It was at our library that I found Nancy Drew and fell in love with the genre. I’ve been grateful ever since for those tolerant, book-loving librarians who allowed a child like me to read what I wanted to read Picture Quote #1

I like doing whatever interests me. It’s a challenge for me to try to make good comics out of any genre I tackle. I trust my instincts in getting me through the more difficult genres for modern readers, like violent crime or horror stories Picture Quote #1

I think when something becomes a comfortable genre, it’s against what street art stood for in the beginning - breaking out of genres and taking art out of galleries. Now street art is in the gallery, and it’s all made up into a nice, packaged concept Picture Quote #1

We really invented the genre of tracing family trees and going back as far as we could on the paper trail. When the paper trail disappeared, we used DNA analysis. The technology was just being invented that allowed you to trace ancestry through DNA Picture Quote #1
