Im a huge fan of the James Bond genre.
There is only one genre in fiction, the genre is called book.
When I was writing for children, I was writing genre fiction. It was like making a good chair. However beautiful it looked, it needed four legs of the same length, it had to be the right height and it had to be comfortable.
It's just cool to do something different and branch out and dabble in different genres.
I like to deconstruct things, deconstruct genres and stories.
Horror movies scare me. I don't really watch them. I'm not a big horror genre fan. I like certain classic horror - like 'Alien', 'Jaws', 'The Exorcist', stuff like that.
After I did the first Die Hard I said I'd never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground.
Imagine my delight and awe when I discovered such a thing was a real genre - contemporary fantasy or urban fantasy. It was like having my birthday twice in one week and cookie dough for breakfast.
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!
In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.
I think romantic comedy, when done right, is my favorite genre. It's just a genre that's very human.
I've always thought of fantasy as a genre of best-case scenarios, and horror as a genre of worst-case scenarios.
I'm not a fan of any genre but am a fan of movies that are intelligent andor funny. That goes across all genres: a horror movie, a zombie movie, alien invaders, chick flick, or raunchy comedy. If it's well done, I'm a fan.
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
I've just looked for ideas and great characters that I relate to and that I think I can offer something to the audience, and I no longer look at them as experiments or genre exercises at all.
I read a lot - and I read a variety of genres.
I am a fan of the monster and horror genre but that's not my style as a director.
I had always wanted to be a writer who confused genre boundaries and who was read in multiple contexts.
I certainly realize that not only do I like the horror genre, but I'm getting really good at it and I'm having a good time making them.
Now chart music is a genre all of its own and it's slipped away from what I understand pop music as. It's pretty difficult to take; it clogs up the airwaves.
