I'm an artist. Artists don't need permission to work. Regardless of whether I'm acting or not, I write. I write when I'm tired in fact, because I believe your most pure thoughts surface.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write.
I write because I write - as anyone in the arts does. You're a painter because you feel you have no choice but to paint. You're a writer because this is what you do.
I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.
I feel a duty to write because I can write songs.
I write music just for me. I'm certainly not good enough to do it on any kind of a level but I enjoy that time because it's quiet.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
I don't think of myself as an artist. I'm just a guy who can write.
I don't see myself as an artist, as a writer. The sort of writing that I do, which is popular fiction, it's work. I have contracts to fulfil, and I have deadlines to meet.
I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
