Dave Barry Gilligan's Island is wherever you want it to be in your mind. Bob Denver Gleason used to rack balls for me when he was a kid in Brooklyn and in Long Island. Minnesota Fats Harbour Island in the Bahamas is beautiful, with turquoise water and pink sand. Diane von Furstenberg Have any of our friends got off the Island with their families, or what must they submit to? Despotism or destruction, I fear, is their fate. William Floyd Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here. Dan Quayle Hawaii is the best form of comfort for me. When I die, I want to be cremated, and I want half my ashes spread in the Pacific around the island, the rest on the property. Richard Pryor Hugging trees has a calming effect on me. I'm talking about enormous trees that will be there when we are all dead and gone. I've hugged trees in every part of this little island. Gerry Adams I came from Long Island, so I had a lot of experience at the stick. I played in junior high school, then I played in high school. The technical aspect of the game was my forte. I had all that experience, then I had strength and I was in good condition. Jim Brown I consulted a Chinese herbalist and spent two weeks on an island off the coast of Zanzibar. I was away from any kind of contemporary technology. Francesca Annis I don't think there's much point in bemoaning the state of the world unless there's some way you can think of to improve it. Otherwise, don't bother writing a book; go and find a tropical island and lie in the sun. Peter Singer I felt alone out there, like I was on a desert island. I felt like Gilligan. Mickey Rivers I finished high school there and then I went to Rhode Island School of Design. Stephen Sprouse I gladly accepted the commission but was uncertain about what the end result would be. On the one hand, Cuban music was conquering the world; being heard everywhere, and our small island was already producing one of the popular musical genres of the 20th century. Alejo Carpentier I have a musical called Goodbye and Good Luck, based on a Grace Paley short story. I also have King Island Christmas, and there are 20 different productions of it this year. David Friedman I have been taking my daily walk round the island, and visited the sugar mill and the threshing mill again. Fanny Kemble I knew I couldn't live in America and I wasn't ready to move to Europe so I moved to an island off the coast of America - New York City . Spalding Gray I read about this hotel that was great, down in the south of the island, not in a touristy area. I had no particular desire ever to go to Jamaica, but I thought, what the hell? Sounds nice. Let's go! Jeremy Northam I stayed with them for about a year up there and, at night, worked over in Long Island at a club called The High Hat Club which was like a pseudo jazz / blues place. William Bell I think the Caribbean countries face rising oceans and they face increase in the severity of hurricanes. This is something that is very, very scary to all of us. The island states in the world represent - I remember this number - one-half of 1 percent of the carbon emissions in the world. And they will - some of them will disappear. Steven Chu |
