I grew up always wanting to be a dancer and when I went to New York, I fell in love with the idea of performing in all ways.

You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.

I think my life dramatically shifted when I met Lucas [Goodman] and it wasn't even planned. I had a very clear vision of what I was going to do.

I'm totally into the emotional aspect of things.

The women in my family are just strong women who do their own thing, so I knew I needed to have individuals like that.

I grew up as a dancer, and music and dance are so closely tied, that in ballet class you're listening to all this classical music, and in modern class you're working with a live drummer. It was something that always made me feel really comfortable and I've had a connection to since the beginning.

I think just being a '90s kid - I was not a Backstreet Boys girl, I was definitely into NSYNC.
