I love folk. I love rap.
There are people who say they want to write novels. They think, 'I'll learn my craft on the romance novel.' If you don't love the genre, it's going to show, and it's not going to be a good book.
I've read fantasy my whole life. Quite literally; my mom read me The Hobbit before I could read stuff to myself. So I love fantasy; that's what I read for fun, it's what I read professionally to keep abreast of what's in the genre - it's where my heart is.
I think you can spread yourself across any number of genres when you're a writer as long as you have a deep, abiding love for each of them.
Country music is who I really, really am deeply.
Write the kind of movie you would want to see, in a genre you love.
I ride really well and I shoot a gun really well. I love the genre. Once I did Westerns, I was hooked. I love them, but there's been very few of them made. I never wanted to play a guy who was acting like a cowboy. I wanted to play someone who had a real life, but was also trapped into situations.
The older I get, the more I love psychological thrillers.
I love a lot of different styles, but my heart belongs in electronic music.
The hardest thing, as a producer, is to find a director who does the picture for all the right reasons, and not just because they know it's successful or that they can do a good job, but in their bones, they love that genre.
I love electronic music, and I love drum and bass.
