Quote

I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.

In retrospect, it seems like everything in my life led to me becoming a writer. I just didn't realise it at the time.

My intention is to write poems. That's what I've been doing most of my life.

If you're a writer, you just keep following the path - keep going deeper and deeper into the things that interest you.

I always knew I wanted to be a writer.

It's not like being a writer is a very lucrative career, but you know, you just know when you've found what you're really meant to do.

I knew that I wanted to be a writer even before I knew exactly what being a writer entailed.

I had many different careers early on. I knew I wanted to be a writer. But, like so many people, I didn't know how to be one - other than just do it. I didn't know what form it would take.

I'm a compulsive storyteller, an avid reader, and have always nurtured the secret goal of spending my life as a writer.

I always knew I wanted to be a writer. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do as a money-making job.
