#1 In America, we expect a bit more gravity than in other countries.

#2 I want to leave the doctor’s office in tears, but instead I walk out feeling like a hypochondriac.

#3 I had my teeth implanted in a dentist’s office in America. They were connected and were screwed in with a screwdriver. The pain wasn’t bad, since I was already numb. The next day, I flew to London to meet my agent, David Stewart, at his flat near King’s Cross. He was staying at the Mandarin Oriental during a business trip. I was staying at the Berkeley. I’ve always thought of London as my second home. It’s where I spent much of my childhood, and it’s where I have many friends from college. When I was going through my divorce, it was the only city I could visit without getting sick. The night before I left, David and I went to dinner at Scott’s, a restaurant near where he lives with his wife and their two children. It was such a different scene than the one at Scott’s apartment: people were dressed up and talking in soft tones, the tables were set with white cloths and vases filled with fresh flowers—I felt like I had stepped into a luxury hotel rather than a family restaurant. -> I had my teeth implanted in a dentist’s office in America.

#4 I went from avoiding dentists and periodontists to practically stalking them because I enjoy their company.
