It's like, either you're a great dancer and you're going to do great, or it doesn't come naturally to you.

If I had been living through the '80s, I probably would've gotten into a lot more trouble than my parents.

Obviously you can't please everyone. I'm sure some people say, 'Bloody old Len Goodman gets on my nerves.'

I've had a lot of little girls write to me saying that they want to be dancers and that I've inspired them.

I still go through times when I'm down. I don't feel like I'm that strong woman that people think I am today.

With dancing, it just brings out more flexibility, more core strength, and you definitely get a great workout.

Sometimes it's harder to untrain somebody with dance experience than it is to teach somebody with a new skill.

I may not be as active in it as some people are, but I think that the church has taught me great life lessons.

I have personal experience dancing with someone who is a Republican and someone who worked for the White House.

I always want to be the best at what I do. That doesn't mean compared to other people, but just in what you do.

I'm just taking it one day at a time. Actually, that's a total lie. I always think about what's in front of me.

You've got to tune out the other people and tune in to what's going on inside. Love yourself. Nourish your body.

I think if you alienate people and just focus on your work then it just becomes lonely and it's not fun anymore.

Take your time. Some of these fad diets and quick fixes, they might be quick, but you're going to crash and burn.

Dancing is the best exercise. Not only is it great cardio, but it works everything, strengthening your whole body.

For me, you've got to start from within. The things you eat directly affect the way you feel and the way you move.

I keep saying this about a mental state, but the more that I am physically active, the more that my mind is clear.

I wanted to eat what I wanted but I made sure that portion control was basically half of what I normally would eat.

I tried everything from basketball to volleyball to soccer, but dancing was the only thing I never complained about.

A little moisturizer and I'm out the door. I don't even need to put on mascara anymore because of my lash extensions.

It's scary to take risks and it's scary to get out of your comfort zone, but it's also the most rewarding when you do.

I'm just a normal 22-year-old girl who likes to go out, go to movies, have fun, hang out with my friends, get manicures.

If I'm like, 'Oh, this is not something that I want to do,' that means I have to do it. That's always a good motivation.

I love to swim. I need goggles. If I don't have goggles I run in to the walls of the pool. I have no sense of directions.

I absolutely love Italian food. So pizza - like a margherita pizza, penne arbiota, a glass of wine. That's like my dream.

I'm a technophobe. I can't crack the iPhone, and the extent of my multitasking is being able to talk while I make a drink.

Id like to do Broadway if the right project came along, but my mission in life is that I want to help change peoples lives.

I think on a bucket list for a performer is definitely doing a stage show, whether it's in Vegas or on Broadway or whatever.

I'd like to do Broadway if the right project came along, but my mission in life is that I want to help change people's lives.

I've been acting my whole life, which people don't realize. I just haven't had the opportunities that I've had with my dancing.

I try to give back as much as I can to the community, especially in the area that I grew up in. I've donated costumes to charity.

I never dreamed of dancing on television or anything like that. It's more of things that come along that excite me and inspire me.

Its better to be second while everyone is saying You should have been first than be first when everyone says You should be second.

I love all the Latin dances. I love all the upbeat, salsa, cha-cha, samba dances. I just love the music - and wearing the costumes.

'Grease' is one of the movies that made me want to be an entertainer, and I have literally been waiting my whole life to play Sandy.

I love fantasy. I love thrillers. I love action. I'm all over the place. As long as the story and characters are good, I'll love it.

I've always been kind of a play-by-the-rules girl; I tend to like things structured, predictable, and sometimes even a little boring.

I did ballet at the Menlo Park Academy of Dance from age 4 to 11, but then I switched to ballroom, and I've been doing that ever since.

I definitely listened to country music. I don't think I listened to hair bands as much as I did Bruce Springsteen and U2 and Aerosmith.

There was a time when my mum would sew costumes for the dance studio so we could keep doing our classes because we couldn't afford them.

I always tweet about where we're at. Since I'm performing at amphitheaters, I'll try to run up and down the stairs and across the field.

When I work out I always focus on activating my core so I'm engaging at all times no matter if I'm doing yoga or if I'm on the treadmill.

There is something so rewarding about dancing. It's almost spiritual - you let loose, you feel free, you get endorphins from the exercise.

I'm really loving acting. I want this as a career. I'll still write music and collaborate with people, but I'm focused on the acting path.

I love doing Jazzercise! It's totally reinvented itself. It's upbeat, it's a great cardio class for an hour, and you burn lots of calories.

I definitely am the kind of person that fluctuates up and down. I work really hard for a certain project and then I'm like, 'Oh, I'm done.'

I always think of a show like a plant - a little pruning now and then keeps it healthy, but you shouldn't pull it out and chop the roots up.

I am good in bed - I don't snore. I don't take the duvet. I just lay there and go straight off to sleep. That's all you want out of a bloke.

I don't necessarily view myself as a 'famous' person, I look at like Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts and think to myself, now that's a celebrity.

In the end, the greatest victory we can know is the result of all of our hard work, discipline, and dedication: the realization of our dreams.
