Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never wanted to be a writer. I mean, that's the last thing I wanted.
I never wanted to be a writer. I still don't.
I didn't want to be a writer. First I wanted to act, and then I wanted to be a painter like my big sister.
I pretty much always wanted to be a writer.
I was always meant to be a writer. I've felt that way since I was a child.
I would always get a lot of work as a writer, but that wasn't what I wanted to be. For me, I was only doing half of what I really wanted to do - write and direct.
Writing happened to me. I didn't decide to start writing or to be a writer. I never wanted to be a writer.
I've wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since I showed no real talent. But I persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. Ignorance of other writers' work keeps me from discouragement and I am less well-read than the average bus driver.
I never wanted to be anything but a writer, and I never let go of it.
I never even dreamt of being a writer because I didn't feel allowed. When I was a child I was terribly ambitious, but I didn't know at all what this great thing would become.
