I would very much like to become a best-selling author.

Writers are not meant for action.

I started writing movie scripts. They excited me a lot, but I didn't like them when they were finished because they were simple copies of the films I saw in childhood.

I haven't been the kind of writer about whom book-length academic studies have been written.
