I was so worried about his illness taking him away from film. And now it’s taken him away from us entirely. David has always been my favourite director. Learning about his passing while on vacation I’m trying not to let it sour my trip. My heart is heavy. R.I.P David. ❤️
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema. I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire.
I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern.
Love,
David
