For me, I like to push myself... I hate feeling complacent or that I'm not learning. ”

Whether I'm doing a routine where I want to move people, or if I want to feel moved myself, I definitely tap into those moments where it's not just dancing or movement. It might just be a hand gesture or just a slow look, or even just the way you slightly tip your head forward. These subtleties speak volumes. ”

I went to a theater arts school, so I'm interested in many different projects, whether it be film, television or even live theater. I'm a performer. That's what I do. That's what I want to do. ”

I never dreamed of dancing on television or anything like that. It's more of things that come along that excite me and inspire me. ”

When you're a choreographer and you put so much into a routine that's emotionally driven, those are like my ideas and my little babies that I have here and then I put them out there and they're there to be judged and looked at. When it's all over, it's just such a relief. ”

I think models in general have a certain insecurity about themselves because they're known for being beautiful, so they have to prove to everybody they have personality and they are intelligent. ”

I always want to be the best at what I do. That doesn't mean compared to other people, but just in what you do. ”

I'm just the biggest klutz. That's the problem. I don't get hurt doing cool things. ”

I'd love to do more theatre and acting. I attended a performing arts high school in London, and it would be great to be able to put all of that training to use again. ”

I'm all for big production - I love putting on shows. ”
