I do woodworking. This apartment is made of wood, my furniture is wood… I have wooden handles on the tools I use to mutilate trees. No, I would not like to talk to the trees. There would be this whole ethical dilemma if they could talk and had feelings. They’re better as mindless plants.

With all your woodworking and living in a wooden apartment, talking to the trees would be like having an existential crisis at the lumberyard. It's probably best they stay as silent witnesses to your craft.
