When I was at school, I wanted to be a lawyer.

I wasn't meant to be an attorney, but I was meant to go to law school.

I don't really know why I went to law school.

Even after I'd published three books and had been writing full-time for twenty years, my father continued to urge me to go to law school.

I wanted to be a lawyer. I realized I don't really want to be a lawyer. I want to play a lawyer. Thank God I figured that out.

My parents wanted me to go to law school.

I didn't go to law school to become a lawyer, per se - let's just say I was leaning in to some strong suggestions from my parents - but my nebulous goals of someday becoming a writer were just that, nebulous.

I wasn't using college as a stepping stone to law school or some other career. I just wanted a liberal-arts education.

I used to want to be a lawyer, but I didn't want to have half my brain sucked out.
