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

Writers don't write writing, they write reading. When I was a kid, I read four or five books a week. And that is how I became a writer.

I've always been a reader and a writer.

I think you become a writer when you stop writing for yourself or your teachers and start thinking about readers.

There isn't any distinction between a reader and a writer - reading is so much a part of it.

You need a certain amount of nerve to be a writer.

All writers I know are readers first and foremost, and that's why you become a writer.

Being a writer is not the point. Writing is.

I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
