I knew if I stayed in London my whole life would be dancing. I'd won almost every major title you can. I thought 'This really isn't my passion. I really want to sing,' and I knew I wouldn't be able to if I stayed there.

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

One of my mantras is if I'm scared to do something, that means that I have to do it.

When my mind is clear, I feel like I can give more of myself to those around me and hopefully bring light and joy and an infectious kind of energy to inspire them to do whatever they want to do. That's really the key behind it all.

Acting is like free therapy! Trying to make people laugh or cry can be inspiring.

I had a hard time with bullying. I ate lunch in the bathroom.

Well, what I love about '80s rock music is the amazing, fantastic melodies.
