movement ways
When it comes to acting, you really have to create movement which in some ways is dancing. And dancing, I feel is very important to act as well. I wouldn't put one over the other.
planes felt
Right before I jumped out of a plane, I knew what Superman felt like.
shy
I'm actually really shy.
iphone
Obviously anything that accessorizes or enhances the iPhone is always pretty cool.
college parent done
My parents weren't stereotypical and pressuring me to go to college. They mentioned it a lot and constantly, but it wasn't a do or die thing, like, 'You have to do this or you're done.
practice creative midnight
I'm heavily involved in the creative with choreographer Christopher Scott. I go to rehearsals with 'Glee' and then practice with LXD till about midnight.
dancing sick people
I remember the first time I felt that I was sharing the stage with someone spectacular was dancing with Beyonce. It was the dancers, the band, Beyonce and me in front of thousands of people. That was sick. It was pretty amazing that I got to travel the world with someone like her.
couple guy
I wasn't the guy who got straight As. I got As and Bs and a couple Cs.
team track guy
I actually got dared to audition for the dance team. All my track-and-field buddies dared me to audition, and I was one of the few guys who did it.
my-favorite right-now choreographers
I have the most respect for Zach Woodlee. He is one of my favorite - and one of the most capable - choreographers out there right now.
corner full loud opened people playing room running
I would be in a room full of people being loud and running around, and I'd be in the corner just playing with the wall. So I was very, very quiet, but when I really got into the arts, that opened me up.
