I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can't stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can't bear to take a shower. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I had to dance in a Tweety Bird costume once.

You don't get bored with stuff like 'Birdman.'

I spend a lot of time learning about bird watching.

I would love to be more specific, but really, any type of bird is the funniest animal. They have to move awkwardly when walking. They have beady eyes; they are very suspicious. They can't do anything right. They have no hands, which is inherently funny.

I grew up with two different parakeets - one that lived for five years, and one that lived for 13 years - so I always had a bit of an attraction to birds and it's an oddly good fit to be in a movie about birdwatchers.

All birds are incipient or would-be songsters in the spring. I find corroborative evidence of this even in the crowing of the cock.

I know I don't own Big Bird, but I own his soul, I feel.

I am a closet birdwatcher. I can identify Southern African species, but it irks me I can barely tell a jay from a blackbird in the U.K.
