Quote

I never considered writing as a career - it was always a creative outlet for me and something I just loved to do.

I'd always loved to read - and come from a family of readers - but I never thought about writing as a career.

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 always loved writing, but never considered that I could do it professionally.

I think writing is such a great talent, and if I was better, I would love to be a writer.

I would always get a lot of work as a writer, but that wasn't what I wanted to be. For me, I was only doing half of what I really wanted to do - write and direct.

I decided very early that I wanted to write. But I didn't think of it as a career. I didn't even think of it as a profession... It was the most exciting thing, the most powerful thing, the most wonderful thing to do with my life.

Writing was something I always as a kid thought would be fabulous and glamorous to be a writer.

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.

Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
