I’m smiling. Not because it’s my birthday, but because I’m loved. Although, admittedly, being born helped. As fellow actor Gabriel Byrne (who was born the same day and year as me) puts it, “Presents don’t really mean much to me. It’s the realization that (there are) a great many people who really love me, and who I really love.” Cheers, Gabe!

Nice of you to go to such lengths to make us happy on your birthday! Wasn’t that supposed to be the other way around?

Love the dog in the bread mask. (And HOW did they get that perfect shot–numerous tries or just luck?!)

Good point, Nancy! Maybe it was the dog’s idea.
