Interview Etiquette: Thorough or Concise?

Do interviewers prefer when candidates explain concepts or answer questions as quickly as possible, or should candidates be expected to proactively add more to the discussion? Obviously there's some gray area (e.g., not just saying Yes or No to a Yes/No Question), but from the perspective of an interviewer which one is generally preferred or is it always dependent/conditional on the question?
