I always try to set a positive example for my generation and promote confidence.

I work out. I'm getting toned, too. The Wii Fit really works your body. When I get off, I'm dying.

Sometimes, when you grow up in one of these poverty-stricken neighborhoods where the educational system isn't the best, you don't realize that you have any choices. Often, kids don't appreciate the choices available, as if it's either the street or nothing. I want them to understand that reality is what's relative to you, and that you can make choices that allow you to create a new reality for yourself.

Something that was instilled in me by my parents at a very young age is that there is no happy life without a life of service.

I've always been who I've been. I've always been this person.

Being of service is something that really makes me happy. Being able to tell young kids about something they might never have known without meeting someone with my experiences is what really what I feel it's all about. I feel that's the only way that you get fulfillment out of life.

Corbin Bleu was my first kiss in life. I was 12, and he was, like, my first kiss for TV... It was on the lips!
