I like to take risks as long as they're healthy, you know. They're good, smart risks.

I personally find that each instalment has a different director, cast and crew, and I've also been in a different season in my life for each of them, so I feel like each movie is a unique experience that centres around my undying passion for music and dance.

Honestly, what keeps me grounded is my faith and my value system.

My relationship with God is what gives me a moral compass on what decisions to make and that stuff. I'm thankful that I have the people around me that I do, and they remind me each day of who I am and what I stand for.

I enjoy going to the Y. I take all the fitness classes that my dad takes that's sort of our bonding - anything athletic, anything sports related.

I like to aim for significance over success because rarely can you be significant and also successful, but many people can be successful and not significant.

I started dancing when I was 3 in Toledo, Ohio, and started hip-hop dancing at the age of 7.

I think that the success of the franchise is helpful for launching different aspects of my career. It's sort of the reliable cousin that you can always count on for every family reunion. Because of 'Step Up' I've been able to really take my career to the next level. I have them to thank for a lot of my success.
