A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video in which David Berg reflects on his emotional life.

Well, gosh, you know, for years I thought I had a secret. You know, the fact that I really never am sad but I'm never really happy, you know. And you know, and then I saw Dexter on TV and I go okay, I kind of get it a little bit. And you start using the words that the world uses but they never really felt right. You know, I have children born and I'm not as happy as I think I should be. People die and I'm not as sad as I think I should be. And you know what I realized is because of your talk is I'm stuck and mad or I'm moving and I'm excited and I just put words happy inside of them but they never really fit. And there was a piece to having the words match better and I appreciate that. It's just so nice being around normal people. No kidding. Totally.
