Quote

You say that you hope I will be recognized as the best novelist of my generation. I want you to know now and know completely that that would mean to me absolutely nothing.

In my next incarnation, I want to be a writer.

I want to be an author.

I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

I wanted to be an author for as long as I can remember.

If you wish to be a writer, write.

I want to be a writer someday.

It's one thing you aspire to: someday, you'll be able to write a book.

A writer is what I am.

Now I'm not an author, I'm a writer, that's all I am.
