What's your go-to karaoke tune?
"I love karaoke, I just don't get to do it enough... 'We Are the World.' I'm kind of goofy, so I like to get into a public karaoke place and go 'Come on, everybody, we are the wo-o-o-orld, sing it with me now! We are the childre-e-en.'"
What is the greatest rock song of all time?
"'Stairway to Heaven!' I covered both bases there, didn't I?"
What song describes your relationship with your wife?
"We've been married for 21 years and in Hollywood that's a miracle. There were times where she was going to kill me, like 'Psycho Killer' by the Talking Heads! Now, it would be a song that's about trust."
What music do your siblings listen to that you can't stand?
"Big brother Alec is really into Springsteen. I love Springsteen, but I'm kind of over Springsteen."
What song would you rather people sing to you on your birthday instead of 'Happy Birthday'?
"That would be kind of cool. Some kind of sing-o-gram or something. Frank Sinatra, 'My Way.' They would sing, 'You did it your way, knucklehead!'"
What song pumps you up to get into competitive mode?
"'We Will Rock You,' by Queen. I'm a big-time Queen fan. That whole record was high school for me, so that was awesome. It was very passionate music."
What's on your iPod?
"Delirious?, the Afters and Family Force 5 are gnarly. I have to listen to new music. I have three daughters. I can't fall into a complete realm of dorkiness!"
