When you bring God into politics, very strange things happen.
I like to write about real people, real crimes. But what has increasingly come to interest me, and also appear to me as a challenge, is the idea of doing strange things with what is real. Take what is real and make it more or less real.
One of the strange things about imaginary food is that it allows us to take pleasure in reading about things that we would never want to eat in real life.
I've eaten a lot of strange things. I've eaten something called a razor clam. They just call it that because it likes like the old-school razors in the old-school barber shops. I can't even think of some of the things I've tried.
Shoes are strange things. If you take your shoes off in a situation in which you're vulnerable, you'll feel 10 times more vulnerable.
I don't know if I was born weird. I think it's just that I was exposed to very strange things from a very early age by my brothers.
