I was always meant to be a writer. I've felt that way since I was a child.

One doesn't choose to become a writer. One is just born that way.

Any writer will be happy and good only if they know what they're doing and why they're doing it.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.

I wrote as a kid, but I never wanted to be a writer, particularly. I had been drawing and painting for years and loved that.

I started to write as a child as soon as I could read, or even before, when my mother read me Beatrix Potter at bedtime. Writing seemed to me to be the only sensible way to live and be happy.

I always just wanted to be a writer, not necessarily a particular kind of writer.

I had to wait for a long time before I could support myself with writing. However, being a writer is what I have most wanted to be, from the time I was a child.
