A book I would take with me to a desert island is 'Paradise Lost,' which I studied in college and hated so much by the end of the class that I never wanted to see it again.

Someone asked me, if I were stranded on a desert island what book would I bring... 'How to Build a Boat.'

I felt alone out there, like I was on a desert island. I felt like Gilligan.

If I were planning to be stranded on a desert island, I wouldn't take Freud's books with me, because I've already read them all.

One of my desert island books, 'The Leopard' is not so much a novel as a eulogy for a way of life and a Sicily that was already lost by the time Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa was writing.

Rick Owens is my desert island designer. I could live in his clothes alone, and I collect Ossie Clark.
