- The tour life definitely puts strains on your body, not just because of the dancing but because of the fact that you are traveling into the wee hours of the day, getting up early, going to sound check - just the grueling process of it all.
- With parents, that's the only way sometimes that they can get across to their kids is by giving them an ultimatum.
- Right before I jumped out of a plane, I knew what Superman felt like.
- It was a big step, to go from not talking to people to stepping on to a stage. That's when I felt the most comfortable, because I could do anything I wanted to and say anything I wanted to, even if people didn't laugh.
- I'd rather dance in a corner than dance in a circle.
