I never wanted to be mainstream as a writer, but look at what's happened.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For a writer, you definitely do not want to be in the mainstream. You want to be on the edge because that's where the vantage point is. That's where you can see.
The thing about not being historically a mainstream writer is that everyone feels like you're theirs: you're their friend.
Mainstream to me equals boring, so I don't want to be doing that.
What I've become good at is bringing things that aren't necessarily mainstream to the mainstream.
I never wanted to be a writer. I mean, that's the last thing I wanted.
It's hard to tell what is even mainstream anymore because there's so many platforms now. And they're all topics of conversation.
I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.
I cannot recall any moment of clarity about becoming a writer. I always liked to read. That's what did it.
Because I have success, it doesn't mean I'm part of the mainstream. I'm still an outsider.
I never wanted to be a writer. I still don't.
