I love hip-hop; I love Sleigh Bells. I also love classical music and musical theater.

I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was. I don't know if it I enjoyed the response I got from people or if I liked having an audience, but there's something in me that wanted to perform.

Just to be on set with Amy Poehler, who's one of my heroes, was a total dream come true.

I've learned a lot about the limits of what I can do, as an artist, or what I'm willing to do. It's a lot of responsibility to carry a show and to speak to people on different levels.

I love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.

Dance has always been a really important thing for me, so being able to physically express the characters through music and dance is like another layer to things.

You're revealing something about yourself in a more exaggerated, more fleshed-out way, and it awakens something in you that maybe you didn't know you had.
