00:00A lot of people are naming you as the one to beat this season, how do you feel about that?
00:05I don't know, that's news to me, so I need to process that.
00:09Anxious before, now you know.
00:11Yeah, I'm like literally a ball of anxiety, but I think I would go to say that everyone
00:17brings something special to this competition. Bruno, Carrie-Anne, Derek, they're all talking
00:22about how so much of this is part and like sharing your story, that's gonna be a big
00:28challenge for me, like being vulnerable in a way that like is sharing me versus, you know,
00:34what I normally do, which is share other character stories, big shift for me, so we'll see.
00:40Yeah, we'll see.
00:41Do you feel like you have a little bit of an advantage coming in since you have a lot
00:45of dance background?
00:46Yeah, I mean, I think if you have any dance experience, you got to be somewhat excited
00:50going into a dance competition. This is completely different than anything she has ever been
00:55close to doing.
00:57I have a big passion for dance, so I think like if there's any kind of advantage, it's
01:01just that I love it so much and I think it makes it so much easier when you're like running
01:06towards something you love. Otherwise, I don't know. I mean, I'm gonna leave it up to the
01:11Dancing with the Stars gods.
01:13Yeah, yeah.
01:13Have you gotten reactions from any of your Pretty Little Liars co-stars or anything like that?
01:17Yeah, I called them last night. Let's, we'll do that again. Yeah, yeah, no worries. Yes,
01:24yeah. I called them last night, like right before I went to bed. They're all so excited
01:29and they're gonna be like watching every single week, so yeah.
01:32Do you feel like any of your roles have kind of prepared you for this as well?
01:36A little. I mean, I think just doing character work will help each week. You know, we're
01:41gonna bring different stories to life, so I think getting into the headspace and psyche
01:46of that will help a lot.
01:48What have rehearsals been like so far? I know it's only like a couple.
01:51Honestly, so far so good. No complaints. I mean, look, we're two days in. We're still
01:55in the honeymoon phase, so ask me again next week.
01:58We have a long way to go.
01:59We have a long way to go. If you win, where are you putting that mirrorball trophy?
02:05Nightstand.
02:06Oh, you're going right next to the bed.
02:07Like a psycho.
02:08That's fair enough. I gotta go to my mama's house. My mama would love that, so.
02:12Oh, she'd love it. She would love it.
02:15And of everybody in the cast, who are you most looking forward to getting to know? Because
02:18I feel like everybody becomes a family over the course of a season. So who are you really
02:22like, who did you geek out over when you found out they were on the cast?
02:25I mean, everyone. Everyone. I don't know. Everyone. Everyone's so cool. I think Stephen,
02:34I was like, you're a pommel horse guy.
02:36Exactly.
02:37And he's like, I have a name. He did not say it. He's the sweetest human ever.
02:41So, but I think just like fresh off the Olympics, obviously, I was like,
02:44we all watched him do his thing.
02:46Superstars.
02:47But everyone really.
02:48So cool.
