My approach is to treat writing very much as a job.

I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.

When you're a writer, everything that interests you feeds into your work.

If your purpose is to make money, you shouldn't get into writing.

Writing is definitely something that interests me a lot.

Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you've made sense of one small area.

It's not like being a writer is a very lucrative career, but you know, you just know when you've found what you're really meant to do.

I never considered writing as a career - it was always a creative outlet for me and something I just loved to do.
