I really like the sound of analog things where clearly there's something being touched. You can sense that something is handmade. So much with digital, there's a disconnect.

More quotes by Andrew Bird
Playing the violin and singing and whistling are just three different ways of making sound.
Andrew Bird
The weirdest time is when I'm having to explain myself all day to journalists, and then I don't perform, so there's no release, just a lot of self-consciousness. Then what do you do with that at the end of the day? How do you release your brain from talking about yourself all day?
Andrew Bird
There's kind of this unequaled thrill of playing a half-finished song, it's kind of sense of slight embarrassment like you're blushing. I like doing that. I did that with Eyeoneye and it was almost a curse on the song for a while I debuted it when it was half-finished in a very public way
Andrew Bird
The orchestra's an amazing instrument, but I don't want to just arrange my songs for it. I think that might be kind of boring and a little bit overdramatic, perhaps. I'm still just having too much fun doing it my way, for the time being.
Andrew Bird
I think life is a wondrous thing. I'm happy to try pretty hard.
Andrew Bird
I put a lot into my records, and I won't release anything I'm not totally thrilled with.
Andrew Bird
With digital sound just becomes simply information, not the sum of its parts.
Andrew Bird
Correlation across replicated environments adds a whole new dimension of complexity of the environment, ... You would expect most application groups to have the same set of policies. In reality, you have differences in policies. That reflects back to that whole process of manual storing in the environment.
Andrew Bird
You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I’m going, or when I’ve lived in a place so long that there’s no chance I could possibly get lost.
Andrew Bird
Well, my main instrument is violin, but I think of myself as a songwriter who happens to play violin.
Andrew Bird
It's like you don't know you're making a record unless you're half-killing yourself.
Andrew Bird
I still play solo shows. And some of those shows are still some of the best, most gratifying shows.
Andrew Bird
I think when I was pretty young I got really into the tone of my instrument and I remember just playing one note for an hour to just kind of feel the resonance of the violin.
Andrew Bird
I also don't believe that everything happens for a reason, which is in a similar category of world-views.
Andrew Bird
Sometimes the word dictated the melody.
Andrew Bird
The first splurge of creativity is kind of free, and the last 30 percent is painstakingly hard work, but it's good to light a fire and make it public and create that expectation. It's become part of the writing process, really, a way to ask the audience what they think, how they think it's going. I can't write songs in a vacuum.
Andrew Bird
I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.
Andrew Bird
I really believe there's more honesty in one live show than there may be in my whole output.
Andrew Bird
Songwriters can sort of get away with murder. You can throw out crazy theories and not have to back it up with data or graphs or research.
Andrew Bird
I think I'm still a little too intense for my own good sometimes.
Andrew Bird
