Nowadays I'm not even sure if newspapers take into account whether a person is a good writer.

I've always been a writer.

My grandfather had been a newspaper reporter, as was my uncle. They were pretty good writers and so I thought maybe somewhere down the line I would do some writing.

I always saw the best reporters as ones you hardly ever saw other than when they were back in the newsroom, writing their stories.

I write as well as I can. I'm a journalist at heart, so it's the story that matters.

I've always been writing.

To be a novelist, all I need is a pen and a piece of paper.

I've always loved writing.

I was always a writer, by which I mean I was always scribbling away, doing something with pen and paper.

I have a journalism degree, but I'd rather be the person who is being written about rather than the person who is writing.
