All of the GENRES are just blending now, which I THINK is ANOTHER super-cool THING.

As an ACTOR I BELIEVE in doing all SORTS of GENRES.

I have always regarded HISTORICAL FICTION and fantasy as sisters under the SKIN, two GENRES separated at BIRTH.

I can WORK across all genres of MUSIC be it CLASSICAL, hip-hop, WESTERN, traditional or folk.

Good movies beget other good movies. So when a movie captures the imagination and hearts of people AROUND the world, it's GOING to have a positive INFLUENCE on similar genres GETTING made.

I LIKE the idea of an ECLECTIC approach, incorporating jazz with other FORMS and other genres of MUSIC.

I don't REALLY BELIEVE in genres. I don't WANT PEOPLE to have any preconceptions about me. I want the first impression to be the music.

To make films like 'X-Men' work commercially - and ALSO have some class - is one of the hardest things there is to do. I want to be SEEN to be able to cross lots of genres and still be 'fair dinkum,' as we say in AUSTRALIA, which means genuine and true and, well, unique.

By erasing BARRIERS of races, COLORS, continents, GENRES, or languages, we can ACHIEVE the whole WORLD moving their head to the same beat.

On the subject of literary genres, I've always felt that my response to poetry is inadequate. I'd LOVE to be the kind of PERSON that drifts off into the GARDEN with a slim volume of Elizabethan verse or a sheaf of haikus, but my PASSION is story.

I don't THINK I've ever been true to jazz. There's ALWAYS a KIND of jazz element to what I do. There are a very few genres that I haven't TRIED out, REALLY, in what I've been doing. As a jazz musician, you can kind of mess about with things with a certain level of musicianship, which helps.

It's IMPORTANT to immerse myself in one THING at a time to do it well, but I could never do one thing only. I will always be a POET and a SINGER, because I'm interested in bending GENRES and pushing boundaries of what is considered a poem, what is considered a song.

Some of my FANS tell me that my voice is more suited for romantic numbers, some others SAY I do SUFI SONGS better. But that just goes to say that people are more AWARE of the different genres now. More people are getting exposed to sufi music because of Bollywood, which is good.
