I think of myself as someone who thinks largely through writing. Thus I write more than most people, and I write in many different forms. I think of myself as the kind of person who writes, rather than as one kind of writer or another.

I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.

I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

I think of myself as a writer as much as I think of myself as a linguist and an academic. I really enjoy writing - playing with language and getting just the right metaphor.

I write a lot about myself.

I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.

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

Writing is like a rollercoaster ride for me, an adventure. I love exploring the world through 'playing' people who are absolutely nothing like me.

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