I've always been writing.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.

I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a writer, but I was always writing.

Writing is a very easy way for me to express myself. When I was still at school, I would write for no reason other than I wanted to write.

I write all the time, whether I feel like it or not. I never get inspired unless I'm already writing.

The first time I tried to write was when I was 14, after I got an electric guitar. I put a song together, and it wasn't that bad! The writing came natural to me.

Writing has always felt like a compulsion. Even at high school there'd be times when people would ask me if I wanted to go and hang out and I'd sit home and write instead.

I think writing is an extension of a childhood habit - the habit of entertaining oneself by taking interesting bits of reality and building upon them.
