Genre Quotes

I am a genre lover - everything from spaghetti western to samurai movie.

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.
Quentin Tarantino

Movies, Before, Story

Keanu Reeves

Hope, Character, Career

Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.
Ang Lee

Good, Fight, Show

But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol's work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell's soup can.
Pete Townshend

Work, Best, Took

Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you're younger. But I haven't abandoned the genre: I love falling down; I love Lucille Ball. It's just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can't convincingly portray at this age.
Julia Roberts

Love, Funny, Age

John Podhoretz

True, Dark, After

Music, Country, Wants

Mindy Kaling

Dean Koontz

Jason Reitman

Movies, Hate, Laugh
