Quote

As thrilling as it was, speechwriting is ultimately frustrating for someone who wants to be a writer.

I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.

A storyteller is basically what actors and writers are.

I could talk more directly in a nonfiction voice than I could in fiction.

I think the only way you can become a writer is through honing your voice, creating your own voice.

I only have one job, and that's being a storyteller.

I think that one of the things you have to do to become a storyteller is spend a lot of time reading stories.

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

I have a journalism degree, but I'd rather be the person who is being written about rather than the person who is writing.

No, you're either born a writer, a storyteller, or you're not.
