I'm a huge fan of just keeping a healthy lifestyle. For your body but for your mind, also.
Dancing is so great because there are all the little details, and the little movements, and the little muscles that are working without you even realizing.
I'm one of those people that loves to try everything.
I keep saying this about a mental state, but the more that I am physically active, the more that my mind is clear.
If I'm like, 'Oh, this is not something that I want to do,' that means I have to do it. That's always a good motivation.
I figured out if I have a good goal in mind, then I can actually achieve it.
I think growing up it was never an issue for me to think about working out or having a healthy lifestyle because I danced so much. Then when I stopped dancing and I got into regular life mode, I didn't realize how much diet and nutrition and being active was so important. Not only for my physical state, but for my mental state, too. I think that's just as important as working out for your physical state.
One of my mantras is if I'm scared to do something, that means that I have to do it.
What I really like to do, especially because we're all busy so sometimes you forget to do something, I always keep wrist weights with me. If I just put them on throughout the day, then I'll just be doing stuff and it's kind of just toning without me doing anything. Sometimes that's just my little trick. I have ankle weights and wrist weights and I just keep them with me at all times.
Even if you're a guy and you don't believe in dancing, you should try dance cardio. It's really fun!
I had a hard time with bullying. I ate lunch in the bathroom.
I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what's really important.
Acting is like free therapy! Trying to make people laugh or cry can be inspiring.
Everybody loves music and it's fun - you feel like you're not working out. It makes the time go by quick and you're having fun and, especially if you take a class, there's the energy of other people and you're laughing.
