Quite a lot is required of writers these days in terms of, if not promoting the work, then being a representative of the work. It's a difficult thing, really.

I don't write on demand - I wait for inspiration to come.

Contrary to what many writers imply about the process, nobody forces a writer to sell his work to the film industry.

I didn't think being a writer was a fancy thing. It was a job like any other job, except apparently you could do it at home.

I suspect that writers and other creators are never really finished with any work.

I think new writers everywhere need opportunities to get published.

People might think writing is a hard business, but it's nowhere near acting.

There are a lot more female writers wanting to direct their own material and hopefully will be given the opportunity.

I think any writer is a fool if he doesn't do it for money. There needs to be some kind of incentive in addition to the project. It all goes together. It's fun to sit there and think of characters and get them into action, then be paid for it.
