And the lady beside me just says, Morris, what is this movie?

He got up and walked out of the room.

Oh, no.

Oh, what did he say to you?

I can't share that, but...

Give me the gist.

Because Terrence Malick, you know, famously, he doesn't give interviews.

I mean, as far as the media is concerned, he's reclusive.

It's also nicer to say I come from his lineage rather than I rip him off with all those shots of wind gently blowing through the natural landscape.

There's something I want you to try and help me understand a little bit more about you.

You know, you talk about your desire for connection, but then you also described yourself as someone who has never been able to give love fully.

And I wonder, is it that you're able to express that side of you through your work, but not so much in life?

Like...

Neither your work nor you seems like they're evidence of someone who has a problem with connection.

Can I say, you know, I – because I like talking about this kind of stuff.

I feel like I have a sense of what you're talking about.

But I could also very easily imagine somebody listening to what you're saying and thinking, what the hell is she talking about?

I'd like to ask a little more about the work that you're doing as a death doula, which you had mentioned before.

So you're just learning about it?

Have you ever been with someone at the moment of death?
