Writing a novel is like making love, but it’s also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it’s like making love while having a tooth pulled.
I’ve eaten part of my tooth. I had a weird cavity that broke apart in my teeth – this is a bad story. I was eating and thought, ‘It’s like I’m swallowing rocks,’ and then I checked and part of my tooth is missing. I ate it.
I am not a super-talented guy, I’m just a dude who will fight you tooth and nail.
I live a healthy lifestyle and I crave healthy food. I love porridge – I have bizarre cravings for it. I love it with brown sugar and bananas, and I’m a huge fan of cinnamon – I put cinnamon on everything. I also have a sweet tooth and I don’t like to deprive myself. I think everything in moderation is the key.
Well, biology today as I see it has an amiable look – quite different from the 19th-century view that the whole arrangement of nature is hostile, ‘red in tooth and claw.’ That came about because people misread Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest.’

I’ll never forget my 24th birthday when my tooth got punched out. And for a second I was like, it would be really hilarious if I sold it on eBay. But I can’t, that’s just too creepy. I don’t think I can go there.
I have the biggest sweet tooth of anybody.
As a Member of the CBC, I will fight tooth and nail to increase funding for programs, such as Ryan White, that were flat funded in the President’s budget.
There is definitely a thematic lineage between ‘Descender’ and my previous work, like ‘Sweet Tooth’ and ‘Trillium.’
I used to be terrified of a particular film – I can’t remember what it was called. It was set in a forest, and there was lots of oil coming from trees. And someone fell, and ever since then… Oh, and I also dream about my teeth, losing a tooth, which I think means that you want control back.
