I go out and salsa with friends, especially in the summertime. Now that's incredible cardio!

My parents are both teachers, so we had the summers off.

You're always going to have people that are naysayers, that don't believe in your talent, that don't believe that you have any kind of longevity.

And at 19, you think you rule the world, and you can control things. And a lot of times, you don't.

The wiser you get, the more experience you have, and the more you see people for who they are as human beings, as opposed to figures you have to fight against.

I love the French horn.
