Quote

I am neither an Occidental writer nor a Russian writer. I am an accidental writer.

I can't say that I ever actually decided to become a writer. It kind of snuck up on me.

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

I don't think I knew I would be a writer. I wanted to become a writer, and I tried to write.

I was quite a reader before I became a writer.

I don't call myself a writer.

A writer is what I am.
