Object struct of self

How can I get the Object class structure of the object the script is currently attached to? At the moment I have created a GameObject variable and assigned it to the same object in the object inspector, however, I would like skip this step.

thanks,
Richard.

PS I am using this to destroy the object on a mouseDown event eg.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var myself : GameObject;
3. function OnMouseDown () {
4.      Destroy (myself, 0.0);
5. }
6.  

 

Destroy(gameObject, 0.0);

A script inherits from MonoBehavior, and a MonoBehavior eventually inherits from Component, and a component is guaranteed to be attached to a gameObject.

Great - thanks.
