It's almost like a genre rule: Don't Open The Box.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't want to box it in or say this show caters to this type of person... I think the tide of music is changing. We don't have to worry about rules. We should just do what feels good.
I've never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.
I don't think an artist should keep themselves categorized in a specific box.
Even for the people in the business who are real music lovers it's really about putting things in the right boxes, and my style doesn't fit into a box.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
I think I'm always conscious of not letting things fit into a specific box. Being a filmmaker and trying to chart a career, you never want anyone to be able to pigeonhole you into one specific thing.
Box office is one of the strongest tools we have toward preserving our ability to make our movies. We really can make a difference by purchasing a ticket each opening weekend to a movie made by a woman, even if you don't like the movie or the filmmaker and even if you don't see the film.
It doesn't matter to me what the genre is.
Genres aren't closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time.
I certainly agree that putting everything into little genres is counterproductive. You're not going to get too many surprises if you only focus on the stuff that fits inside the box that you know.
