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!
