Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.

I look like a child - and I love it!

Don't think that you can just rely on natural talent because there are going to be times when you get a little tired and that's when your skills come into play to help you make look easy.

I have a gajillion headbands - yellows, pinks, reds, blues. I'm obsessed.

I love the idea that somebody is going to compare me to my character or think that I am like my character when they see me. I feel like that is a role that I am willing to fulfill.

As an African American actress there are people who have been staples in my life that opened a door that I can walk through. I hope that I can have that impact.

My character, Taylor McKessie, is a little bit brighter in the math and science department than I am... okay, a lot.
