“Yeah, once the song is written, it just complexifies the profile of it...” — David Berman Quote

“Yeah, once the song is written, it just complexifies the profile of it to have the music and the words at odds. It comes naturally to me. A lot of my music is like that.”

“When I was seven my parents divorced. My father went to Dallas. My mom fled to the shelter of my grandparents in a strange central Ohio town of 22,000, Wooster. When it looked like I was growing up to be a wimp I was forced to live with my father, which I did not want to do.”

“When you can't see you become very timid about space and moving. You become less aggressive and less tenacious. Lots of things that shouldn't be affected by vision really are. And you don't even know what they are until they become unstuck.”

“I think naturally my orientation is from my father.”

“I used to be so twig skinny that I couldn't eat enough, because I was just naturally skinny. Until I went to China.”

“I stopped listening to a lot of music because I wanted to become more comfortable with what I naturally sound like.”
