Quote

I want to be remembered as a storyteller.

I want to be remembered as a storyteller more than someone who had something meaningful to say.

As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a writer.

I considered that I had to write stories about the people I had met, with whom I'd worked, the history of my books - just in case I up and die.

I see myself as writing biographies, the complete story of someone's life.

I write for the love of writing. If I never published another book, I would still be writing stories.

I like to think of myself as a storyteller.

People love talking about writers as storytellers, but I hate being called that: it suggests I got it from my grandmother or something, when my writing really comes out of silence. If a storyteller came up to me, I'd run away.

I wanted to be an author for as long as I can remember.

I don't remember a time when I didn't define myself as a writer.
