An image has stuck for most of my career and it isn't flattering.

A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again.

I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.

I was a boy, suddenly treated like the men and expected to act like them.

When I began my career, I worked purely for the money.

My personal style at this point in my life is more audio; it's more driven on less visual and more musicality. But because of my upbringing, my fabulous mentors and teachers that I've had throughout my dance journey or career, I also possess a style that is of the past. It was just a matter of me reaching back.

I struggled for so long to try to create a career.

Birdie is amazing and such an incredible child and I'm having such a great time being a mom but I still want to have a career and I still look forward to auditions and parts, and when I don't get them I'm disappointed.
