I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.

I wrote as a kid, but I never wanted to be a writer, particularly. I had been drawing and painting for years and loved that.

I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a writer, but I was always writing.

I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.

I've been writing since I was really young, so I considered myself a writer for a really long time.

I never thought of myself as a writer.

I never wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a book illustrator. I used to hurry home from school and draw.

I always thought I was going to be an artist. All I ever did was draw. I only ever turned to writing because I couldn't find somebody to write the kind of stuff I wanted to do. That just spiraled out of control.

I had thought of writing, actually, and that later on I'd be a novelist.
