A lot of people who have been perceiving my music have been trying to formulate a genre for it, and I think it's just a natural thing; it doesn't need to be categorized. It doesn't need to be sectioned, if you will.

King Krule

I hate being categorized.

Alexis Ren

I like challenges, and I hate being categorized. It's always been a thing of mine.

Alexis Ren

I've always believed you go to literature to find the shared human experience, not the categorized human experience.

Alice McDermott

I would say my whole universe is probably categorized as guerilla marketing. For a long time, I had a line which was, 'Whenever I hear the word 'marketing,' it makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth.'

Brad Feld

If you do an item song, then you're categorized as an item girl; if you focus on acting, you're categorized as an actor.

Daisy Shah

I became interested in structure when I was in graduate school. How is it that the brain perceives structure in a sometimes disorganized and chaotic world? How and why do we categorize things? Why can things be categorized in so many different ways, all of which can seem equally valid?

Daniel Levitin

Strokes are categorized as either bleeding into the brain or a blockage in blood supply, known as an ischemic stroke. The latter are overwhelmingly more common, compromising about 87 percent of all stroke events.

David Perlmutter

The orbs have probably sold better through catalogs because they can be categorized unlike at most stores.

David Rose

I never looked or really believed that music should be categorized into particular genres.

Dianne Reeves

I don't see anybody categorized as a 'fashion diva,' except for me! And I like that. I am thought of as a diva because I wear an evening dress and I take care of my look when I go out. I go to parties regarding business, not for fun. And that's why they call me a 'diva.'

Donatella Versace

In America, music is more tightly categorized.

Ednita Nazario

The truth is that the writers who most influenced me weren't people categorized as crime writers. I'd say I learned more from John O'Hara, who isn't much read today but whose short stories I really admired, and Hemingway, who I think has lasted pretty good.

Elmore Leonard

I want to steer away from the stereotypes that Latina women are categorized in. I feel like there are so many more opportunities for us. I like going out for those roles that says 'open ethnicity.'

Emily Rios

When Pearl Harbor was bombed, young Japanese-Americans, like all young Americans, rushed to their draft board to volunteer to fight for our country. That act of patriotism was answered with a slap in the face. We were denied service and categorized as enemy non-alien.

George Takei

We don't need to be categorized - we are all individual and beautifully unique.

Iskra Lawrence

I dream of a post-racial society that is not categorized by the color of their skin.

Jane Velez-Mitchell

One thing that worried me was how writers get categorized and so they end up having to write the same kind of book again and again. That is fine if it is what you want to do, but I would rather be locked in the trunk of my car with a weasel than write the same book every three years until I die.

Justin Cronin

Sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination are being built into the machine-learning algorithms that underlie the technology behind many 'intelligent' systems that shape how we are categorized and advertised to.

Kate Crawford

I was being categorized as some kind of twangy songwriter. And that's just not how I see myself.

Kathleen Edwards

There's a lot of movies, and I've made some of them that could be categorized this way, but there's definitely been a trend in animated features of all types to be a little bit cynical, if you will, to have a little bit of 'knowing' humor to them, kind of a wink to the audience.
