I don't like super-descriptive modern fiction. I like, Here's what was happening in 1582 all over the planet. Then that gets my imagination going.
Andrew Bird
The music that I write is often not necessarily full of doom and gloom. You'll notice in most of the darkest songs, the music is actually pretty peaceful and lulling.
Andrew Bird
I don't like to disappear between records. I like to play shows while I'm making the record.
