Genre Quotes

Sometimes I get a little confused because with dancing I can express my emotions with my body. With acting you have to do it with your face and your expressions, and then with animated shows you have to use your voice and use your inflections. So it’s definitely a challenge to transfer from each genre of entertainment Picture Quote #1

I read so much science fiction when I was young. I believe science fiction is the genre for exploration and to learn about possibilities via book Picture Quote #1

When I read a book, I like to be surprised. I don’t want to read the same genre formula that I’ve read a hundred times before Picture Quote #1

I also love the zombie genre, my zombie fandom going way back to ‘Night of the Living Dead.’ And ‘The Walking Dead’ is truly the ultimate representation of that sensibility in the comic book genre Picture Quote #1

Drown’ was always a hybrid book. It’s connected stories - partially a story collection but partially a novel. I always wanted the reader to decide which genre they thought the book belonged to more - story, novel, neither, both Picture Quote #1

There are people who say they want to write novels. They think, ‘I’ll learn my craft on the romance novel.’ If you don’t love the genre, it’s going to show, and it’s not going to be a good book Picture Quote #1

I read about violent things. I think what I get out of that is entertainment by learning about different things, and reading the genre and getting an understanding of motivations. But at the end of the day, it’s still a book, and I can walk away Picture Quote #1

Write the best book you can, the one that demands to be written, no matter what genre it is. Even a trend the trades tell you has gone stale can be revitalized by a superb piece of writing. It’ll never be revitalized by someone jumping on a trend bandwagon Picture Quote #1

I first started writing historical fiction in the late 70s and kept pictures of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers on my refrigerator until my first book was published by Avon in 1982. The biggest advantage of this genre for me is that it allows me to blend fact and fiction Picture Quote #1

I decided to take my foot off the pedal with all the detail. I’m sure after ‘Animalia’ and ‘The Eleventh Hour,’ readers thought that’s what to expect from Graeme Base. With ‘The Sign of the Seahorse,’ I took a step away from the puzzle-book genre - that was more of an adventure story Picture Quote #1

The distinctions of what makes a book one genre or another can sometimes be a bit muddy, but generally it’s a matter of projecting who the audience will be, which is a judgment that’s based on the subject matter. ‘Mainstream’ is the cleanest label for a book that draws readers of both sexes and from a wide age-range Picture Quote #1

I read everything. I’ll read a John Grisham novel, I’ll sit and read a whole book of poems by Maya Angelou, or I’ll just read some Mary Oliver - this is a book that was given to me for Christmas. No particular genre. And I read in French, and I read in German, and I read in English. I love to see how other people use language Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think what you have to do is have a box office success in every genre and then you’re set for life. And fortunately, I happened to do that, so I get a myriad of offers of various sorts Picture Quote #1

In my books and in romance as a genre, there is a positive, uplifting feeling that leaves the reader with a sense of encouragement and hope for a brighter future - or a brighter present Picture Quote #1

My brother is a screenwriter. He likes to say, ‘I like to take on a genre when it’s dying, because then people are ready for you to shake it up a little bit.’ Picture Quote #1

Rock n’ roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community Picture Quote #1

My first gig in the business was a guest star on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ so I’m neck deep in sci-fi. It’s been a very good genre to me Picture Quote #1

The genre of narrative business books that I love so much - the ones that have a you-are-there quality - was invented, or so it is said, in 1982 by David McClintick, who wrote ‘Indecent Exposure,’ a rollicking good read about a Hollywood scandal and the ultimate boardroom power struggle at Columbia Pictures Picture Quote #1

Our fathers were actually business partners in the same real-estate firm, and we got together and thought, How can we get a movie together and get distribution and create a new movie genre? We started by making satires of commercials Picture Quote #1

When this genre of music started in America, Metallica was up north in California, we were in Southern California, Anthrax was on the East Coast. We each developed our own metal music, and after 30 years, we’re still playing our metal music Picture Quote #1

I don’t care about the genre so much. I’m good with horror, but I like other genres, too Picture Quote #1

I wanted to stay on a career path of the likes of Natalie Portman. I didn’t want to be pigeonholed into a certain genre. I sort of believe that slow and steady wins the race Picture Quote #1

There are women in every genre having a lot of success. Why not celebrate that? Picture Quote #1

I think a good director can embrace any genre and it’s the kind of thing where you always want to do something different. You always want to challenge yourself Picture Quote #1

Generational change within a genre is hard to parse while it’s happening. Only in retrospect can the passing of the baton from ancestors to progeny be clearly discerned Picture Quote #1

As a rule, I don’t worry about genre. I just want to tell a good story, with characters that interest me and my readers Picture Quote #1

I think I’m part of a generation of crime writers all of whom woke up independently and recoiled with horror at the fact that we’d chosen this very conservative genre Picture Quote #1

Christopher Nolan’s astounding third Batman feature, ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ represents the true maturation of the superhero movie - and provides the key to understanding the bottomless craving moviegoers have for these films, 34 years after the Christopher Reeve Superman gave birth to the genre Picture Quote #1
