I enjoy the element of pushing yourself, learning something new, whether it's a dance step, a scene, an emotion.

I used to get made fun of a lot for being a male dancer, especially growing up in Boston. Kids are terrible, they don't realize how heavy words can be.

You have to be determined, and be able to accept, 'No.' I've heard, 'No,' a thousand times, and I've heard, 'Yes,' a handful of times.

I mean, there's definitely a difference between film and live performances or live television. But at the same time, it's just performing. No matter what, it's performing.

You can only dance for so long, but you can act until you're dead, so... I fell in love with it and I want to keep doing it and pushing myself.

I always go for confident girls!

I've always fought for what I believe in. I used to get made fun of for dancing, and I would argue back, or fight the kids, or do whatever I had to do to shut them up. I have that in me.
