Like, for the first week and a half, I think we both woke up to every single noise the baby makes to make sure he is OK. Is it too cold? Is he still hungry? Is his diaper changed? You're just so worried that it's like it's the end of the world. I was freaking out, but it's not like there is a book on how to be a parent.

Basketball players, they're great.

I've always wanted to have kids - I think it's something that every human should experience.

You get used to cameras being with you 24/7, but you have to be prepared for people to have an opinion.

Ballroom dancing is so specific... it's so unique in its own way, that there's not really a lot of outlets where you can utilize that.

It's kind of become a journey about the dancers, but dancers are the reason why this show is so successful. They are the choreographers, they are the teachers and if not for their hard work, there would be no 'Dancing With the Stars.'

You can't take a person who's never danced in their lives, and are completely terrible, and turn them into the mirrorball trophy holder. That just doesn't happen.

I'll be honest with you, being 37 years old, I'm thinking maybe it is time to do something behind the screen. Something more on the creative side than being a talent.

The one thing I've done all my life, and I study it and I dedicated pretty much all of my time for the past two decades, is dancing.
