During the first couple of years of 'Dancing with the Stars,' I would go to Jack in the Box in my ball gown after the shows and get the Taco Nachos with cheese as my reward.

I started my career as a singer in Japan, but left it all behind to focus on my dancing career.

I do a one-hour workout called Drenched, a cardio-boxing fitness routine, Monday through Friday. There are usually between twenty-five and fifty people there - everyone from stay-at-home moms and professional martial artists to teenagers and seniors. They play great dance music. When I can, I take two classes back-to-back.

I love the show 'Damages!' I am truly addicted.

I come from a dancing background, and I know it's stereotypical, but I would dance because I wasn't comfortable speaking to people.

I love pets and I love animals, and I just got a new puppy, a new rescue named Peanut. She's a tiny little Chihuahua mix.

One of the best gifts you can give to an animal is a donation of a blanket to your local animal shelter during the winter months.
