I am a writer... I am a genius of a writer; I have it in me. I am writing the best poems of my life; they will make my name.

Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.

I'm a pretty decent writer. It comes easy to me. I don't agonize over sentences. I write like I talk. I try to make them good books.

A writer is what I am.

I write out of my intellectual experience.

I wrote about Alan Turing, the great mathematician and code-breaker. He was an absolutely different person, certainly more brilliant than I ever will be.

I think of myself as a writer as much as I think of myself as a linguist and an academic. I really enjoy writing - playing with language and getting just the right metaphor.

I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing.

I like to write. Prolific is part of who I am.

You know what you are best at, and writing is just not my thing, but I like it.
