" I asked myself what I'd take if I was stranded on a desert island. I wouldn't bother with any records, for a start. If you've only got eight, you're going to get fed up with all of them pretty soon. They'd start to get on your nerves. So, no records. That left me with a book and a luxury object. What book would I take? . . . There's tons of books I really like, but what'd be the point? One book's not much good. Once you've read it half a dozen times you might as well throw it away. . . . That left me with a luxury object. . . . Something of no practical value. . . . I couldn't think of anything. . . . There was nothing I wanted on my desert island. "
