I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.
I'm very fascinated by genre.
I don't like labels.
Audiences are audiences.
I never felt typecast because when I was in television, I was also, simultaneously, in films. I was seen across platforms, so that's why I have not been put in a category.
Science works its miracles by turning its enterprise into a kind of parlor game confined to the category matter and energy.
I am fully prepared to fight with any opponent in my category from any team.
I support the truth, that is all there is to it. And if you fall in that category of the truth, you are supported by the truth.
I find myself, by happy accident, writing 'Young Adult' fiction. However, I dislike such categories.
Middleweight is my category.
The first thing I am is a person. I am a woman. And I am part of a nation, the Indian nation. But people either relate to you as an Indian or as a woman. They relate to you as a category. A lot of people don't realize that I am not that different from everyone else.
I don't care if you call it AO for Adults Only, or Chopped Liver or Father Goose. Your movie will still have the stigma of being in a category that's going to be inhabited by the very worst of pictures.
People put me in this ditzy, posh and stuck-up category, so it's been nice the public have been able to see the real me.
Oh, I don't like labels.
The art of leadership . . . consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention. . . . The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belong to one category.
There were people whom you positively ached to please. If you failed with such people they would put you into a category in their minds where they could kee you and have contempt for you forever.
To me, when something is classic, whether it came out today or thirty years ago, it falls all in the same pot.
Comedy is hard to do, and I don't know why it doesn't have its own category in awards. I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy. It doesn't get respect. It's hard. It's really hard. It would be more gratifying to get something for a comedy, because it doesn't happen much or at all.
Just because Pluto orbits with many other dwarf planets doesn't change what it is, just as whether an object is a mountain or not doesn't depend on whether it's in a group or in isolation.
Hollywood constantly wants to label you and type you into a certain category, 'Oh he's a comedy guy,' or the weirdo character guy or the villain.
I don't think I'll ever be able to fully explain the way that the Velvet Underground's records opened a door in my head. But it has something to do with Lou Reed as a mythic figure: a person who fitted no category, who defied limits and trends and definitions.
I'm not so widely known that I'm going to be pigeonholed.
Your memorabilia becomes more significant. It does put you in a different category.
Capital, like capitalism, seems an overrated category.
Genre is great and I love sci-fi.
