"We do express our emotions, our reactions to events, breakups and infatuations, but the way we do that - the art of it - is in putting them into prescribed forms or squeezing them into new forms that perfectly fit some emerging context. Thatâ€™s part of the creative process, and we do it instinctively; we internalize it, like birds do. And itâ€™s a joy to sing, like the birds do."
