I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what’s really important.
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’m a huge fan of just keeping a healthy lifestyle. For your body but for your mind, also.
Dancing is a part of my life where when I don’t dance I feel like there’s something missing because I’m such a physical person who loves to express myself through dance, but I love to act. I love to sing. I love to entertain so if I’m passionate about a certain project, I wanna do it.
I love to act, I love to sing and I love to entertain, so if I am passionate about a certain project and I want to do it, I hope to stretch my acting skills.
From when I was born, my dad would dance with me in his arms, and I would watch my siblings dancing around in the living room. I just grew up with that. That was just my life.
I’d feel a little bit dead inside, if I didn’t have dancing. It’s such a way of expression and exercise and life and love. You laugh, when you’re being corny and dorky-dancing. It’s everything.
The community in Utah was very religious. I was a typical teenage girl trying to find my sexuality. Unfortunately, girls do use their sexuality to find attention. I also understand why parents want to protect their kids.
The cool thing about doing films and being different characters is that it’s new everyday and new every project. So, you’re always learning something different and you get to do research.
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.
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 do a lot of dancing. I don’t like to run much because I get shin splints. I love being outside so I do a lot of hiking. It’s very good for toning. I also do lots of light weights.
I may not be as active in it as some people are, but I think that the church has taught me great life lessons.
The thing that I loved about growing up Mormon is that I had morals and standards instilled in me as a kid – like, you need to be a nice person, and a thoughtful person, and if anybody is trying to dog that, then I think that’s rude.
Utah is so wonderful. My greatest memories of Utah are of always being outdoors. It’s a very athletic environment that I think gave me a lot of drive to be fit and live well.
I started out dancing on a reality TV show, but always with the intention of making my way over to film. I transitioned into the film world by doing certain things that my fans had been used to seeing me do. My dancing and singing gave me the confidence to act.
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 think there are always gonna be challenges and people throwing themselves at you in a nondiscreet way. But it’s just so public now that you have to be careful saying hi or giving somebody a hug, because then somebody will turn it into something else.
What I love about ’80s rock music is the amazing, fantastic melodies. In pop music, it’s all about the techno beat to dance to in the club and the repetitiveness, whereas in rock music there is literally, like, balls-to-the-wall singing and playing. I love it.
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 am not dogging on non-melodic pop music because I love it, but I am saying that is why the timeless songs are still here. It’s because of the melody. As far as what shouldn’t be brought back, the high-waisted bikini bottoms.
