Andrew Bird Trying Quotations

Every time I get up in the morning, melodies occur to me and I start trying to shape lyrics to melodies.

I'm just trying to get my body in shape so that I can handle it. It's a very physically demanding thing. I've been doing it for 16 years, so I know what I'm going into now. I'm trying to stay calm and not panic.

I think life is a wondrous thing. I'm happy to try pretty hard.

The real drag is trying to fly from country to country, day of show, with all your gear. You get hassled all the time. It's hard trying to keep it together.

You're trying to get the lyrics and melody to coexist. And sometimes you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
