Mountains or beaches?

Beaches. Even after all those years working on the boardwalk.

Favorite music artist?

When I was 11, Michael Jackson. Then I hit puberty and got too fickle for favorites.

Have you ever gotten a tattoo?

No.

Would you rather end hunger or hatred?

Hunger. I'm a pragmatist.

What does your perfect day look like?

I like to believe it's in my future.

What movies could you watch over and over again and still love?

Dazed and Confused, Dangerous Liaisons and Sixteen Candles.

When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?

I usually wore my spangly, sequined leotards from my dance recitals and said I was a Broadway star or princess or fairy or something sparkly like that. My mom always made me wear a turtleneck underneath which totally ruined the look.

What is the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you?

I can't tell you. But it involved a cappella.

If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?

Barry Manilow. He was born Barry Alan Pincus. Look how well it worked for him.
