“I think it would be a shame for any writer to let their publishers in ...” — Emma Donoghue Quote

“I think it would be a shame for any writer to let their publishers in any way corral them into a single genre.”

“I'm not at all snobby about book prizes and how they pollute the world of literature. Just like with the Olympics, a little bit of competition gets people truly engrossed in the business of literature.”

“I got in the habit of giving away a book as soon as I've finished it because I lived in a housing co-op at Cambridge and had no space to keep books.”

“I really like a lot of American country stuff, so my music has that influence, but I don't like to be set within a genre. It feels very limiting.”

“In any genre you're working in, you can always find a way to tell a particular kind of story. I love fantasy; I love science fiction. I love all kinds of fiction, in fact.”

“I don't wake up thinking about the genre of R&B as a whole. I just make music.”
