I'm so proud of myself for not overeating too much today. yippee! anyway, I wanted to mention something about G, especially cuz today is his favorite holiday.  He's my fave actor and have been for few yrs, and believe me I'm supportive of everything he does.  I'll rant and complain and wishing he could get better material, but hey you can say that for many many actors.

I was glancing thru an old 1996 interview he did back when they were so much longer, and I realize why I worship him (even after the lackluster stuff these days).  He was so tactful and spiritual

"...I'm less concerned with externals, with how I'm perceived, with who is approving or disapproving my work" he goes into how he got into yoga and meditation and all that.  Here's a clincher and I guess this acknowledged the fact that he does think about his fans:  "I enjoy hearing input from the audience.  Sometimes it concerns matters of the show (AW), sometimes it has nothing to do with the show, If you can bring a sense of relief and spirit to others, by all means I think you should do so. (when he used to reply to fans in mail)...One week you are hot, the next week, you're told the worst. It takes a toll on one's being that I find the only means of survival is to find a place a constant harbor for yourself in order to remain steady in the face of strong winds. "
