No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s. Camille Paglia
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.

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
I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don't see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with the rest of cinema. Guillermo del Toro
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. Keenen Ivory Wayans
I am a big fan of vampires. I've always been obsessed with the genre, and the beautiful romanticism and erotic kind of nature of the immortal being, the undead who lives on human blood. Alex O'Loughlin
Our fathers were actually business partners in the same real-estate firm, and we got together and thought, How can we get a movie together and get distribution and create a new movie genre? We started by making satires of commercials. David Zucker
Edward Norton quote: "I read a lot of scripts and so many are clearly a knockoff of..."
I read a lot of scripts and so many are clearly a knockoff of one familiar genre or another. Edward Norton
Now that I'm being very successful, publishers are trying to mainstream me, but I'm unabashedly genre. It's what I like to read, what I like to write. Laurell K. Hamilton
The term 'genre' eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started. Christopher Nolan
