Jan Englert on transience

The disease turned out to be a turning point for the actor, forcing him to reflect on transience.
“Where is my place? Nowhere. I'm dying. That's why I don't have the slightest problem with it” – he said in one of the interviews, quoted by “Goniec”.
Englert admitted that at his age the best thing he could do was to “pray for a quick and healthy death.” He emphasized that what he feared more than death was that he would become helpless and completely dependent on other people. “I wouldn't want to be a burden to anyone. That's what I'm afraid of,” he confessed.
