When you obsess about fitness goals they become unhealthy and impossible to achieve.

I believe in everything in moderation, including exercise.

I definitely want to be a mom.

You know, men are very tough and they don't want to ever say that they need a break or that they are in pain.

Sometimes people can get lost within the crowd, but we have to remember that ballroom dancing is an intimate sport where people look into your story and not the other way around. It's so important to just stay focused as a couple and that you don't let your adrenaline get the best of you by dancing too fast to the music or whatever.

I'm just a normal 22-year-old girl who likes to go out, go to movies, have fun, hang out with my friends, get manicures.

Just being known for a skill you've worked on your entire life is an amazing feeling.

I've had a lot of little girls write to me saying that they want to be dancers and that I've inspired them.

It's really hard for me to beat around the bush or lie, so sometimes the truth hurts.

I went through child abuse, and I also went through abuse with dating a couple of boyfriends in high school. I also have gone through a divorce.

'DWTS' really made me feel confident, and has given me a lot of just self-worth within myself and realizing that I don't need a man to be successful and that I could do a lot on my own, and have my own voice and have my own opinion.

At 19, I turned professional, and I moved to New York. Then I got the call to do 'Dancing With The Stars,' so I moved to L.A. when I was 20 and did it for 18 seasons - about two a year - until I was 30.

I started competing internationally when I was still in school. Every summer I would travel abroad to England because England was the place to be for ballroom dancing.

I wanted to be a professional dancer my whole life.

I tried everything from basketball to volleyball to soccer, but dancing was the only thing I never complained about.

Obviously there's a lot of power in a tweet from Trump.

I have personal experience dancing with someone who is a Republican and someone who worked for the White House.

I try to give back as much as I can to the community, especially in the area that I grew up in. I've donated costumes to charity.

My mom is Filipino and my dad is half Russian and half Irish.

My mom has always said that you have to do other things besides going to school, other extracurricular activities, so she made me do everything from basketball to, well, you name it. But for some reason, dance was the thing I always wanted to go and do.

I did ballet at the Menlo Park Academy of Dance from age 4 to 11, but then I switched to ballroom, and I've been doing that ever since.

I am not one of those girls who can just land in a split. I need to warm up to be flexible.

Let's face it, not everyone is going to have long and lean legs. But everyone can have legs that look long and lean for their body type with the right exercises.

Professional dancers are known for their barely-there costumes.
