John would especially like to be a good example for young people with weight problems. And in that area, he speaks from personal experience. I loved to eat more than anybody I knew. Instead of eating one or two cookies, I would gobble up a whole box. A lot of the fan mail John receives is filled with questions about dieting, especially from youngsters who are concerned about their weight.
Weight problems can affect a person's self-esteem for years to come.
Another dream is still in the future. Actually, I'm happy doing just what I'm doing now, but given a chance, I would be eager to turn to directing, maybe a movie, in time. That would be interesting. And Tom and I hope to do some directing before the end of next season. At least we'd both give it our best.
