I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old Tin Pan Alley songs and American standards. My dad listened to a lot of traditional Irish music and I grew up doing musical theater. So most of the music I was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n' roll.

I would say whisky or pills. Not both because that can have disastrous consequences.

Unless you do the same thing, it's tough for stereotypes to stick. That said, whatever you've done that's most popular at a given moment is what people think "you do."

Surprising people is the key to career longevity for someone like me.

I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success.

Hey, I'm just trying to become the Michael Caine/Gene Hackman of my generation.

I'm much more character based. I try to just be really committed to what I'm doing.
