Nollywood is a genre, and not the entire Nigerian film industry. However none of the 'New wave' of directors in Nigeria would know what was possible without the Nollywood model, so I'm grateful to them for showing us that our stories are of interest to people other than Nigerians. I would describe myself as a filmmaker, period.

We love genre, but in film if you make a genre film it has to all be about the genre. We were excited to be able to tell more complex stories on television.

Ross Duffer

Now because the film industry is what it is, if people are expecting a certain film genre and they're not getting it, there are howls of outrage.

Steven Knight

Any genre as it's called, I think can be quite reductive in terms of what a film is, because I think there is an eagerness to put in any film, in anybody's work, to give it a genre title and I think as a consequence of that, the film starts to obey the rules of the genre.

Steven Knight

'Rudhramadevi' is a film which falls into a very new genre. It is a historic and biographic genre movie. It should be called a bio epic. I am curious to see how the audiences accept the film.

Allu Arjun

I love the horror genre. I consider myself a genre filmmaker. I love genre, but I think there's a certain amount of complacency that comes with watching a genre film; people know what the devices are. They know what the tropes are. They know the conventions.

Ari Aster

There are few teachers from the film industry to guide newcomers. One can see a gap between the film industry and those teaching at film schools.

Suhasini Maniratnam

My entire family has been part of the film industry for many years.

Rishi Kapoor

It's really rare that an entire genre of music allows an artist from a different genre to come and live there.

Ne-Yo

I was born and brought up in Chennai, as the entire Telugu film industry was based there.

Mahesh Babu

Jokes apart, people are constantly asking me, 'What are you doing for the industry?' When one makes a blockbuster, you plough back money into the industry. If my film makes 100 crore, I'm not taking the entire sum home! It gets distributed between the exhibitors, distributors, producers and actors.

Rohit Shetty

In my opinion, having worked in the games industry and still keeping in touch with a lot of those guys, there was definitely a time when they saw themselves as the little brother of the film industry. But they kind of went off in a different direction and now see themselves, I think, as being far more interesting and ahead of the film industry. They haven't just caught up. They've gone off in a different direction and exceeded the film industry.

Duncan Jones

Outside of Peruvian rap-rock, few genre tags raise eyebrows quite like the words 'Nigerian disco.'

Anthony Fantano

My favourite genre lies inside myself, and as I follow my favourite stories, characters and images, it sums up to a certain genre. So at times even I have to try to guess which genre a film will be after I've made it.
