"There was this movie Serpico. Al Pacino is a cop and he has an artist
girlfriend, and there's a party scene with all these different artist
types. They're saying 'I'm a painter but I work in a restaurant,' 'I'm
an actor but I work in an office,', and this goes on for a while. Then
Al Pacino says 'I'm a cop and I work for the police department,'. But
there's that feeling when you want say you're something, and you have
nothing to back it up because everyone says they're a writer, or
everybody says they're this or that -- this is what I felt -- and
everyone else thinks it's bullshit. It's funny now that I don't want to
call myself that but at the time I did and I think that it was necessary
at the time, but now it doesn't feel necessary because I think the
thing I realise is I'm not those things."
