Life's the adventure. You don't have to drop your bundle and go bush. It's about being brave within the context that you're in.
From Robyn Davidson
London sort of wore me down. I can't cope with the winters!
After thirty years of being 'the camel lady,' believe me: One becomes inured to the spotlight.
My own memories are packed tightly away. I very rarely bring them out for viewing.
That arrogance of youth and that kind of ignorant confidence can get you through a whole lot of things, and then life does its stuff, and you get smashed around and beaten up. You get full of doubts, and you end up making a person out of those bits and pieces.
In every religion I can think of, there exists some variation on the theme of abandoning the settled life and walking one's way to godliness. The Hindu sadhu, the pilgrims of Compostela walking past their sins, the circumambulators of the Buddhist kora, the haj.
As we've lost this idea of pilgrimage, we've lost this idea of human beings walking for a very, very long time. It does change you.
Of course, in India, I always said, 'Oh yes, I'm married.'
Never, never have a famous partner. It's too complicated.
I've chosen difficult men. But then I'm sure they'd say they'd chosen a difficult woman.
