For me great music doesn't just have to fall into one category or one genre and I love appreciating all kinds of music.

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors on small movies and big movies.

I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He's a very talented director.

It's difficult to do a genre film well and it doesn't matter if you're talking vampire movies or 'Dawn of the Dead' or 'The Thing' or 'Escape From New York.' Those kind of movies they understand what the old-school B-movie is supposed to be they get the throwback of it.

I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. And loving movies so much I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.

I think romance is a tool comedy is a tool and drama is a tool. I really just want to tell stories that challenge the viewer move people make you laugh perhaps push an idea about being open-minded but never settle on a genre or an opinion. I hate genre. I like movies that are original in their approach.

I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre this type of story and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.

For the longest time I was brought up listening to only two genres of music pop and rock. So in the past few years I've been trying to expand my interests because I think that you can only write to the extent of your knowledge and if your knowledge is limited you can't write past that.

A John Updike is a once-in-a-generation phenomenon if that generation is lucky: so comfortable in so many genres the same lively generous intelligence suffusing all he did.

I love the paranormal because there every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.

I definitely gravitate towards quality genre projects and genre of any kind whether it's science fiction horror or really anything. I'm just drawn to quality. I don't think 'Darkness Falls' is horror there isn't any gore by any stretch of the imagination.

It's just a way of trying to get to a third thing that's not particular to any quote-unquote genre. It's been great for me it's really opened me up and gotten me to use that part of my imagination. It's very scary in a lot of ways and just as exciting.

I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music a lot more than other genres.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

'Days' has always been strong as an icon in TV history and it's still going on strong and represents the genre of daytime drama so well. I'm proud to be a part of it.

I'm a big fan of certain new acts. I love any genre of music and I think it's really great to see that there are new artists coming through. It's kinda funny to think that I'm like the old man on campus now. But I'm really happy for groups like One Direction. I think they're really good guys.

I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like John Ford and Fritz Lang Tod Browning and also some very modern directors like The Coen Brothers. The directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. They do whatever they want and they don't care about the genre.

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.

There is no winning or losing but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you're involved in whether it's a fantasy game the Wild West secret agenst or whatever else. You get to sort of vicariously experience those things.

My folks have played everything from rock disco pop funk and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz classical and Latin. With all this in my pocket I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences.

In the old days a TV sync was perceived as not so cool or whittling away at your indie cred. Now it's seen as much more of an opportunity than a sellout as a way to find fans who wouldn't have ordinarily come across their genre of music.

What I like about the 'Underworld' thing is that it's a mix of cool genres as well as creating its own message.

It's cool to play a vampire and be a part of this new hot genre.

So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool.
