I don't think anyone wants to be in a role forever.
I actually grew up break-dancing. When you break-dance you listen to hip-hop and rap, so I've been listening to that music since I was a kid.
There are so many stage actors on TV but you wouldn't know they were stage actors. And film and TV actors are going to the stage as well, so the crossover is great now.
I'm a dancer, so I love to dance.
In high school, I had two friends that were suffering from cancer. I would go and sing for them while they were in hospital, and I sang at their services after they passed.
In all the shows I've done, I'm always the first to leave - it's in my make-up.
On a TV show, you don't know where the character is going.
I know what it takes to be a good boyfriend. Time, first and foremost. To be there for someone and be involved in their life.
I like pushing myself, and usually if I'm not good at something I just won't do it because I'm a perfectionist.
I guess I was one of the popular kids. I played soccer, I was class president - I even dated the homecoming queen.
I want to be Gwyneth Paltrow when I grow up! She's been able to have such a great career, such a great family and she stays so humble and so real.
I want my shows to be very classic and timeless.
I speak a little Spanish but I am so impressed by people who can speak a lot of different languages.
I don't like to go out to parties or clubbing, and I kind of like my anonymity.
