More From David Friedman
- "I may not be the most famous songwriter in the world, but you know a David Friedman song when you hear it. It took me a long time to appreciate that."
- "I know a lot of people who have tremendous commercial success and they go directly for it. There’s something that has always been difficult about that for me."
- "In the music industry, we value large success. I realized that while I would like that, that it’s not what my writing is about. And if I start making it about that, it becomes impure."
More In War

- "This is a game. That’s all it is. It’s not a war."― Jack Nicklaus
- "I had very good support from Democrats and Republicans all throughout my administration. I had a very high batting average. We added more jobs per year in my four years than any other president since the Second World War."― Jimmy Carter
