“I love Terrence Malick I think he's the poet of cinema and I love this film The New World when he matches with the cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki I think they do pure magic. They capture moments that I wish I could be there to see how they do it because you know it feels like very instinctual the way they use a camera and they grab the moments of the best moments of the actor with the best light natural light and it feels like they're improvising.”

“The New World, I can't find the words, but this movie is, like, immense to me. And like I never use the word transcendent, but watching this film was a transcendent experience.”
