"I'm not the type to demand affirmation or to worry that I'll be forgotten. I'm more the type to dare..." — David Berman

My faith was undermined by the same sort of things that make people skeptics of religion in general. Part of it was, there was no real place for me in Judaism. Maybe if there was I would've hung in there, but I was attracted to the social-justice aspects of Judaism, and I was attracted to the prophets.

I've never been a big movie person, but I used to watch movies regularly in my life, and sometime in the '90s I just stopped. I certainly never was an educated moviegover.

I try every day and every night to find a movie or a TV show that I can watch, but I just can't make it past ten minutes of anything.

I want so many artists that I care about to go away and grow up, and have been amazed at how hard that is for some people to do.
