I am self-educated from genre books.
I'm not necessarily that big of a clubbing junkie, but I really like dance music as a genre.
I like to deconstruct things, deconstruct genres and stories.
I'd like to be remembered not only for my body of work but also for specific novels. Ideally, I want to be remembered in the same way as Stephen King, who defined and exemplified excellence in the horror genre in the late 20th and early 21st century.
James McMurtry is a true Americana poet - actually he is a poet regardless of genre
But when I hear a great song, I can't help but be inspired by it, regardless of whatever genre that song falls under.
Hate walks hand in hand with hate, and black metal especially is a genre that is full of white power bands.
I think the best comedic actors don't play it for comedy, they play it for reality. Then you find it funny because it's real. Playing the genre is the worst thing you can do - it's embarrassing.
I wouldn't necessarily consider myself the typical sci-fi genre fan. I do have a lot of sci-fi shows that I enjoy, but I wouldn't call it my favorite genre of all.
From the moment that photography appeared, the descriptive genre began to invade Letters. . . In verse as in prose the décor and exterior aspects of life took an almost excessive place.
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
There's not a single genre that is hard to find or hard to get.
The safest genre is the horror film. But the most unsafe - the most dangerous - is comedy. Because even if your horror film isn't very good, you'll get a few screams and you're okay. With a comedy, if they don't laugh, you're dead.
I get emails from students at programs all over the country who want to transfer to Iowa, and in most cases their frustrations have absolutely nothing to do with the programs they're attending. They have to do with the growing pains that they're undergoing as writers and with the growing pains that our own genre is constantly undergoing.
The space genre is timeless.
Comics are not a genre, but a developing language.
It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.
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!
The goal [of mine] was always to work in as many different genres as I possibly could.
Science works as a way to make sense of life and the universe. Hard SF as my preferred fictional genre just feels natural.
