Dog-eared 14

I’ve decided to copy my wife's “dog-eared” feature. These posts will contain quotations from books, music, movies, and whatever else I feel like sharing.

Garry Shandling, Sagittarian

Romance has always been a challenge for Garry. Despite his expansiveness on most other topics, he’s evasive about love. “I have spent a lot of time studying the issue of relationships, how I grew up, my parents’ influence on me,” he says when I ask him why he’s single. “I’ve talked to a therapist, I’ve looked inward spiritually at myself, and what it seems to come down to is—” the slightest pause—“that I’m a Sagitarius. Please don’t make me reveal more than that. It’s tough enough as it is.”

From “The Comedian’s Comedian’s Comedian” by Amy Wallace, August 2010 issue of GQ.

And I’ll add: I had no idea how interesting, and how just plain cool, Garry Shandling is.
