Quote

I was quite a reader before I became a writer.

I read, therefore I'm interested in writers.

I was a precocious reader.

I've always been a reader and a writer.

I was always attracted and repelled by the idea of being a writer.

I started writing as soon as I started reading.

I cannot recall any moment of clarity about becoming a writer. I always liked to read. That's what did it.

I wanted to become a writer. I enjoyed reading as a child.

You're a reader as well as a writer, so write what you'd want to read.

I like to be read. That's most of what any writer could want.
