I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.
From Robyn Davidson
I think a lot of writers are unrealistic about having their books translated into film.
You really can expand the boundaries of your life and do risky things and prove yourself by doing them.
I try to factor solitude into my life because more and more, that's becoming a very precious and rare commodity.
You can trick yourself into doing things by doing it one step at a time and never letting yourself see the overall picture.
I am very lucky: not very many writers can say they genuinely like the film of their book. However, I do.
It is always interesting being on films sets - I have done it before with other actor friends - and I just find it fascinating. I just love that collaborative film family that develops around a project.
As you get older, you do just get tired.
I'm not one of those true writers who can't bear not to be writing. Yet it's one of the most important things in my life.
I'd always loved writing, in the same way that I'd loved painting. I wouldn't have seen it as a career.
