The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.

I think part of what I love about being an actor is getting to take on different worlds and investigate different genres and travel to different lands.

The goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career, where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there's not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I'm grateful for it.

As an actor I've been attracted to the sort of films that I want to go and see. That tends to usually be drama-related.

I'm a working actor so I never really pick a film because of a genre, and I don't really turn them down because of genre. Anything that's unlike the picture I just finished is always more interesting.

I think the buzz of acting is playing people different to you, and for me, that means traversing all genres.

Genre stuff is the most exciting stuff for an actor to play. I get to try new things, do things I would have never got the chance to do.

I have a complex feeling about genre. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. I have the urge to make audiences thrill with the excitement of a genre, but I also try to betray and destroy the expectations placed on that genre.

I never wanted to stay in one genre; I never wanted to be pigeon-holed or defined as the actor who only worked in one genre. I want to be able to work in all different genres. For me it's fun, and that's how I grow as an actor.

It's always been the genres that fascinated me. I think great action movies and great thrillers are transformative.
