I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

I think writing well takes a little bit of talent and an awful lot of work.

Good writing of course requires talent, and no one can teach you to have talent.

Writing is just very difficult. I'm an adequate performer. And I think I have a special talent as an editor. Editing is what I do best.

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

I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry, but film writing, brilliant film writing, is a talent - you can't just do it like that.

I'd always loved writing, in the same way that I'd loved painting. I wouldn't have seen it as a career.

If you wish to be a writer, write.
