I couldn't be a writer without hope. I think I became a writer because I'm pretty optimistic.

I wasn't afraid to fail. Something good always comes out of failure.

I don't think I knew I would be a writer. I wanted to become a writer, and I tried to write.

It took me a long time to even dare to envision myself as a writer. I was very uncertain and hesitant and afraid to pursue a creative life.

There is no secret to success except hard work and getting something indefinable which we call 'the breaks.' In order for a writer to succeed, I suggest three things - read and write - and wait.

You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.

You fail only if you stop writing.

I knew I wanted to be a writer before I knew that being a writer was possible.

I've never been afraid to fail.
