Andrew Bird
No, it's not dissatisfaction that inspires me to tinker with my songs, it's just restlessness.
Andrew Bird
It's not set in stone. I like to keep it rolling and changing, and so I am like, Great, I get to remake my song.
Andrew Bird

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
