David Berman speaks

Silver Jews: Pitchfork Interview

some lines:

"My songs are built to provide years of shadowplay."

"I went down in 1999 for a long, suitcase-battering journey of sub-aqueous intoxication, only resurfacing on January 1, 2004 in a tiny Minnesota village. "

"Artists who travel the world and see hundreds of fans cheering their work nightly might be a bigger danger to your talent, becoming a consumerist hero of the new cyber marketspace. That's not what I wanted to be when I grew up."

e-mail interviews are good for direct quotes, I suppose.
