Quote

A writer is what I am.

I saw myself as a writer, a novelist, even though I was living the life of a mother and housewife. Writing was - and is - what I do.

I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.

Now I'm not an author, I'm a writer, that's all I am.

I wasn't always a writer. When I went to college and majored in fine arts, I was a painter. Then I was a stay-at-home mom.

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

I'm a mom. I'm a wife. I'm an actress. I'm an executive producer. I'm an author. I'm an entrepreneur, and I'm a sister and a best friend.

I don't live my life as a writer. I'm a mother, an African-American woman, and I do everything that everybody else does - cook and a little bit of cleaning.

I've always been a writer.

I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers.
