Phoebe Cates Q+A

Return to main article

What books would you take to a desert island?

Remembrance of Things Past, Don Quixote, and, of course, the take-out menu from Sachi, because I’m going to want some sushi delivered.

Which makeup item? Only one allowed.

Eight Hour Cream, by Elizabeth Arden. I don’t plan to stay long.

Your favorite junk food for the plane ride?

Twizzlers.

Would you be willing to lose a little toe if, in exchange, those Twizzlers had no calories?

Hmm.... No.

So you’re back from eight hours on the island. What’s the first thing on your to-do list?

Make an appointment with David Evangelista for a haircut. Cornelia Day Resort is the first telephone number on my speed dial.

Where will you celebrate your homecoming?

Pepolino. It’s so cozy, and there can’t be better Tuscan food anywhere else, even in Tuscany.

Do you like gardening?

I like it when other people do, especially the people at the New York Conservatory Garden.

It’s impossible to find a present for someone who owns a store. Any suggestions?

Twizzlers.
