“There was such a dearth of films like that…And the high-school teen movie is a genre that I love. Everything at that age is so heightened and dramatic, and high-school movies capture that so perfectly. But those films are all white, too; there’s no black teen movie genre that exists in the same way.”

Issa Rae (1985) American actress and writer

On how she didn’t see herself represented in the teen film genre in “Issa Rae: ‘I’ve not started writing season four of Insecure yet. We needed a break’” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/apr/13/issa-rae-interview-insecure-little in The Guardian (2019 Apr 13)

the word 'mine' double underlined
version in original Dutch (citaat van een brief van Johannes Bosboom, in het Nederlands:) ..waarlijk, als ik soms van mijn werk onder de oogen krijg, dan heb ik een genre lief [kerken!], dat in den volsten zin des woords het mijne mag heten. [het woord 'mijne' tweemaal onderstreept]
Quote of Bosboom from his letter, 7 May 1865; as cited in Johannes Bosboom by H. F. W. Jeltes, 1916 http://docplayer.nl/32809950-Johannes-bosboom-synagoge-naar-de-schilderij-in-het-museum-te-dordrecht.html (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)

“I never think about genre when I work. I've written fantasy, science fiction, supernatural fiction, and am now working on a suspense novel. Genres are mostly useful as a marketing tool, and to help booksellers known where to shelve a book.”

Elizabeth Hand (1957) American writer

“I’ve been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.”

Keanu Reeves (1964) Canadian actor, director, producer and musician

“Well you know, I don’t think I have never really seen a film of this genre, where the female characters' sex appeal sort of came second. I mean of course they’re sexy characters.”

Scarlett Johansson (1984) American actress, model, and singer

Of her role as Black Widow in Iron Man 2, in Teen Hollywood (3 May 2010) http://www.teenhollywood.com/2010/05/03/interview-gwyneth-and-scarlett-iron-mans-ladies
Context: Well you know, I don’t think I have never really seen a film of this genre, where the female characters' sex appeal sort of came second. I mean of course they’re sexy characters. When you have a sexy secretary, or a girl swinging around by her ankles in a cat suit, you know that’s innately sexy, but the fact is that these characters are intelligent. They’re ambitious. They’re motivated and calculated to some degree.

“I love the detail about the workings of the human heart and mind that only fiction can provide - film can't get in close enough.”

Nick Hornby (1957) English novelist

“I don’t play a lot of video games outside of work because for me video games are work. There are a lot of things I choose to do with my free time besides play games. But whenever I do hear about something interesting – if there is a new game that has a particularly interesting hook – that is something I will want to spend some time playing. But when it comes to genre, I definitely don’t specify one particular genre that I’m interested in. I’ll absolutely play anything in regards to genre.”

Eiji Aonuma (1963) Japanese video game designer

“Although The Terminator is arguably the more visionary of the first two films, [Terminator 2] is the more visually and viscerally satisfying. It's an exhausting experience and, even 18 years after its release (as I write this review), few films have matched it within the science fiction genre for sheer white-knuckle exhilaration.”

James Berardinelli (1967) American film critic
