I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and the conversations we’ve shared both on and off the film. These are moments I will always cherish and never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for continuously inspiring all of us and hearty congratulations on completing 50 glorious years of making us love you, learn from you, and grow with you!
