Music is a huge part of my life, I enjoy every genre of music from jazz to country, and I even get down with a bit of hip hop.
I just love variety. I love being able to do different things. Do period pieces and sci-fi. I love being able to move between genres and be flexible.
I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.
By the time I was 10 or 12, I had discovered the lure of the romance genre - and the dusty copy of 'The Thorn Birds' on my parents' bookshelf.
The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.
Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre, and installed instead, as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise - nobody need read it, but anybody can do it.
Science fiction has always had a dark side. There has been a touch of the irrational and absurd in the genre from the very beginning.
I'm completely indifferent to what genre I read provided that I feel sympathy with how a writer perceives being alive in the world.
I love OneRepublic, The Script, All Time Low. I love pretty much every genre. I love the Rolling Stones and Elvis.
I'm reteaming with the producers of 'Twilight' on an awesome script. It's very serious, dramatic and different for me. I'm excited to see what's next. I love all aspects of film and all genres.
My music is pretty versatile; I have a lot of genres and styles. I don't think I should be pigeonholed into one thing. So we'll see where my career goes.
Hip-hop is a part of rock & roll because it comes from DJ culture. DJ culture is the embodiment of all genres and all recorded music, if you actually pay attention to it.
There are so many music genres competing against each other, but I feel like country music has always been a unified front.
There's a long tradition - certainly with country, but in all kinds of genres of music - to have humorous lyrics. Certainly with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and, if you look at country, Roger Miller and Jim Stafford.
I think this whole division between the genres has more to do with marketing than anything else. It's terrible for the culture of music.
We felt like we had done as much as you can do with the slasher genre. We were trying to find the next group of scary movies that were ripe for parody.
I don't steer clear of genres. I simply haven't steered myself toward some of them.
What I truly get excited about is not the genre of a movie or the size of a part - it's character. I like to find characters.
I do believe that the genre reached its peak before the First World War.
I think there's only one reason to write in any genre or to any particular age group: You are called to it. You think it'd be fun.
I want to say that I really appreciate that readers are willing to work with my tendency to write in several different genres and for different age groups.
