I don't have a genre because I play lots of different music that people would say are different genres.
I do experiment with lots of different genres. In making music, I don't think of genre like, "I want to do this, because I'm going use that country music sound; I'm going use that hip-hop sound; I'm going use that acoustic [sound]." It's just making music. So now that I've traveled a lot more since I did Acoustic Soul, I'm sure that different sounds will come into place, because I have been exposed to it and I like it. But it's not so much of a conscience effort. It's mind and spirited. You know, we're humans.
I'm eager to do movies of different genres. I would love to not be confined by genre and do a lot of different things.
There are lots and lots of different films that I love, and watching different characters and how different people play them.
Different films, different genres show the different things I do. It's nice because it brings different groups of people to following what I'm doing. So hopefully, it kind of reiterates that I'm not just a one-trick pony as well.
I love to listen to lots of different genres of music, but mostly movie soundtracks and music theater.
We listen to so many different types of music, so it's easy for us to play a different genre or style and it be true to what we do.
There are lots of different ideas, lots of different opinions about the First Amendment Defense Act and what it should be. There were a lot of different forms of it while I was on the Hill. But I would say that I agree that the decision on gay marriage does mean that we need to take some steps to defend religious liberty.
I've been spinning dance music since 1990, and genres always come and go. I think as technology becomes more accessible and it's easier for people to make music, they come and go quicker now, but it just comes with the territory. You come up with something new, something hot, and it rocks for a year. It's nothing different from any other genre of music. I mean, name one genre that's sounded the same for its entire existence. It doesn't happen.
It's incredibly fun as an actor to get to play different styles and different genres for completely different audiences.
Getting to do different genres of movies means you're gonna have different types of situations. So I want to try and do every type of genre there is out there.
The reason I got into this business was for the privilege to exist in different genres and different worlds and play out different realities.
As an actor you get to play different roles and genres. I feel that it pleases and satisfies me to do different genres as it can get repetitive.
I know it's dangerous to say you want to do something different with a genre because people always take that as an insult to the genre.
I love music. I love every kind of extreme sort of music, and many different genres, and if I were to have to dedicate myself to just one kind of genre, I would feel kind of gypped. I'd be like, man, I wish I could do this or that. And really all it takes is trying it out.
Acting is a job you can learn a lot in. You get to play lots of different characters with different professions and different backgrounds; they come from different places than you do, so it's really fun when you're immersing yourself in that world of that person to learn about how other people's lives are.
It's all about the music, and I work as hard as I do strictly because of the music. It's not a money thing; it's not a career thing. It's simply to do with me being a music fan with a broad taste, wanting to do different styles and wanting to work with lots of different people.
