Text Quotes
I’m first and foremost a writer. I followed my personal legend, my childhood dream of becoming a writer, but I can’t say why I’m one.  (Becoming Quotes) If you think about becoming a writer, that’s just really one of the big dreams I had. It’s really important to have those dreams and pursue your passions.  (Becoming Quotes) I came from two harsh dictatorships, Nazi and Stalinist. I never thought of becoming a writer as such, yet in a lucid moment, I recognised what I had to do.  (Becoming Quotes) When I was really young, I wanted to grow up and be the sun. Which shows an early penchant for ambition or narcissism or grandiosity or delusion - all of which are bellwethers for becoming a writer.  (Becoming Quotes) I think my grandmother Woodrell was most responsible for my becoming a writer. She wasn’t quite literate, but was very proud that she attended school as far as the third grade. She worked as a maid, housekeeper and cook.  (Becoming Quotes) I feel like a very lucky person. From the time I was young, I had a dream of becoming a writer. Now that dream has come true, and I am able to make my living doing something I really love.  (Becoming Quotes) Perhaps I wasn’t going crazy after all. Perhaps I was just becoming a writer.  (Becoming Quotes) I dreamed of becoming a writer. And . . . this dream is about to become a reality with the publication of my first, and hopefully not my last, children’s book . . .  (Becoming Quotes) The maturing process of becoming a writer is akin to that of a harlot. First you do it for love, then for a few friends, and finally only for money.  (Becoming Quotes) One of the more interesting things I’ve learnt since becoming a writer is that if you like the book, you’ll generally like the person. It doesn’t always work in reverse - there are huge numbers of lovely people out there writing not very good books.  (Becoming Quotes) There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can’t think what to do with the long winter evenings.  (Becoming Quotes) One of the best things that happened for me as a playwright is becoming a comic-book writer  (Becoming Quotes) If you’re well-known, you’re at the risk of becoming your own character. When you’re alone, as a writer, you have to be unknown, putting it all on the paper.  (Becoming Quotes) I had a fear of becoming anything, a fear of becoming a specialist. I might have become a doctor, but if you become a doctor, that’s your specialty in life and you are defined by it. One of the attractions of being a writer is that you’re never a specialist. Your field is entirely open; your field is the entire human condition.  (Becoming Quotes) The idea of being productive, the idea of producing many books is going to lead you toward you becoming a better and better writer.  (Becoming Quotes) That sort of reception - where everything is assimilated to the world of celebrity - makes me dream of becoming a more recalcitrant, harder to assimilate writer.  (Becoming Quotes) The public figure of the writer, the writer-character, the ‘personality-cult’ of the author, are all becoming for me more and more intolerable in others, and consequently in myself.  (Becoming Quotes) There’s so much to think about when you’re becoming an adult, and there’s so many great poems about that apprehension and excitement.  (Becoming Quotes) I think my guideline has been to find things that inspire me. And as long as I stick to that, I don’t think I’ll have any problems crossing over to becoming an adult actress.  (Becoming Quotes) Part of your process of becoming an adult is admitting to yourself that The Doors were a shitty band.  (Becoming Quotes) Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I’ve decided, is only a slow sewing shut.  (Becoming Quotes) So, I’m 34. I’m kind of becoming an adult - kind of, I guess. But I know that I am because, the other day, I said to somebody, ‘Dude, dude, don’t - those are the good plates.  (Becoming Quotes) The interesting thing about the Beatles was: The music was one thing, but we kind of symbolized a certain kind of freedom at a time when people of our generation were just growing up and just becoming adults.  (Becoming Quotes) I believe becoming an adult isn’t a good thing for a guy. I think that guys should not forget about its youthful soul. So I want to say that I still have a heart of a baby or an elementary school kid.  (Becoming Quotes) I believe that this life is all we have. I don’t believe in anything after this, so I think the choices we make here are so important and the relationships we choose are crucial, especially in that time when we are developing ourselves and we’re becoming adults.  (Becoming Quotes) The primary problem in the psychology of becoming is to account for the transformation by which the unsocialized infant becomes an adult with structured loves, hates, loyalties, and interests, capable of taking his place in a complexly ordered society.  (Becoming Quotes) Since becoming an alleged adult, I’ve always felt like I should exercise - or should at least want to exercise - and make a feeble attempt at health, thus staving off terrible things like the coronary heart disease and high cholesterol described to me in 1980s margarine commercials.  (Becoming Quotes) Mum was an amazing parent and my best pal. The tragedy of it, really, was that she died from breast cancer just as I was becoming a man, aged 17, and we were just starting to speak as adults. She was snatched away, and it felt cruel. She made me laugh.  (Becoming Quotes) The movies and the parts I’m being offered are becoming better and better  (Becoming Quotes) It’s important to make a distinction between becoming more precise and becoming better  (Becoming Quotes)
