Quote

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

A writer is what I am.

If you can be anything else but a writer, be it.

If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

I've basically thought of myself as a writer, whether I was or not.

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

I always felt that I was a writer, that was what I had to do.

Writing is my therapy. In addition to my real therapy. God knows where I'd be without it. I'd probably still be at my last job, working in HR at a religious organization. I was horribly miscast.

I pretty much always wanted to be a writer.
