Quote

I think I began to like writing a lot more, and to be a better writer, when I did it for a while alone. It made me a little more confident about my style.

My dad is a writer, and to see him always in front of a typewriter gave me the inspiration to write. He was my idol, my hero. I wanted to be just like him.

I enjoyed writing for someone else's voice, but I wasn't very good at it.

I liked the idea of being a writer more than I liked the idea of writing.

I knew I'd never have the career Colin Farrell had. I was working in stuff that was, for me, not very challenging. My career wasn't going as well as I wanted it to. So I turned to writing because I felt like I had more to say, and I started writing every day.

I was never a quick writer, but composed with great care and efforts.

I had to see and feel and be with the thing that I wanted to write about.

I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.

I think it was the fact that I liked it so much that made the writing just come out of me automatically.

I felt like I was never going to be a great writer. I felt like I was going to be a good writer at best. I wanted to be great at something.
