When I was a kid, I had this idea that I would have a beard when I got older. I thought it'd be nice to rub my chin.
At an early school, when I was about 5, they asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. Everyone said silly things, and I said I wanted to be an actress. So that was what I wanted to be, but what I was, of course, was a writer.
I also believe that writing becomes worthwhile and vitalized only through a full and exciting life.
