Ballroom is its own entity, its own sport. And I have the most respect for what the pros do.

I've got great friends.

I've got great family.

My life is such that I can delegate with love.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a musical icon, and being part of any show of his is an honor.

I'm normally based in L.A.

For whatever reason, I love 'The Schuyler Sisters!'

I'm not one to get too starstruck.

I'm a very community-oriented person.

Ultimately, I have one life, and you always regret the things you don't do.

When I was 13, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue television and film roles. I booked shows like 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager,' 'Liv and Maddie,' and 'Teen Wolf.'

Being a part of 'Hamilton' is remarkably special. It's a very powerful show that has spectacular emotional and political relevance.

When I get the opportunity to do what I love while also taking a stance on things I believe in, it's a very beautiful thing.

Being on 'Grease: Live' was a massive mile marker. It ultimately led me to 'Hamilton.'

I'm a huge NBA fan and have been for a really long time.

No one really sees the hours of work you put into that moment that finally happens on television or in the theater; they just kind of see the result.

I was a science guy in school, numbers and science and formula: what made things work and how to bring them forward - not what happened.

I hated history in school.

Being able to invest in my community and invest in areas that people might not really know about and monuments that people might not know about in their own backyard is a great opportunity.

I grew up dreaming of being on Broadway and being able to do that - and 'Hamilton' - was awesome, and it was the hardest thing for the first few weeks, and then it was the easiest thing.

In the '90s, I was the only kid around that looked like me.

I am adopted, and I am so grateful for my story, and that's what makes me who I am.

As a species, I think if we could be half as good as dogs, I think the world would be a much better place.

I grew up saying that I love humans, but I love dogs much, much more.

I get a lot of my inspiration from the Jackson 5 and Luther Vandross.

I love to perform. I love live shows.

I'd love to one day win an Oscar just as much as one day I'd like to win a Grammy.

My upbringing in Birmingham gave me a sense of reality. I could not pick another city I would rather have grown up in. Growing up around really good, solid, godly people, it helped me to find those kind of great people in L.A., too, which can be hard for some people.

I'm an artist through and through.

Coming out of 'Hamilton,' my patriotic spirit and love for my country is renewed. I think that's the case for a lot of people. It instills a newly revitalized spirit in terms of learning about the formation of our country.

Musical theatre is, for sure, my first love.

When you win or lose, no-one dies: you win, or you lose.

You will get criticism throughout your career. All the best players have had it at some stage, and they haven't let it ruin their careers. I won't, either.

It's not about individuals; it's all about team work.

I'm a big believer in having to go through hard times to get to where you want to be. Nothing comes easy. You have to work.

It's in the DNA of Liverpool Football Club to win trophies.

Criticism's healthy. It gives you that extra little bit inside you to prove people wrong, to use it as energy, to use it as fuel.

Sometimes I can be a little bit cautious in keeping the ball, playing a safe pass rather than an adventurous one.

It's about being focused on what you want to achieve. That's all I do.

I love to get to Dubai. It's an impressive place, and you can do lots of different things there - beach, shopping, and other fun things.

Ryan Giggs and David Beckham were the two players I've always looked up to.

When you play for Liverpool and England, you have good players around you, and you want to compete with the best.

If you're exercising hard and training hard every day, you've got to have carbs; you can't just cut them out. That's how you get your energy levels up.

I'm definitely not a karaoke man, but I like to try stuff, so I'd get up on stage and give it a go. It would have to be something cheesy - karaoke always is - so maybe R. Kelly, 'The World's Greatest.'

For breakfast, I'll have scrambled eggs or poached egg on toast... and - this is gonna sound weird - I have it with blueberries as well. Everyone says it's weird, but try it - you'll like it.

At Liverpool, Jurgen pretty much does everything, and we just follow him. Of course, we've still got leaders within the group to implement his message, but more often than not, we listen and then just do what he says.

Whether I'm captain or not, I always like to think that I lead by example anyway. I do the same things as I always do and try to help the group out.

A day or two before games, it's all carb overload: pasta, rice, potatoes, stuff like that. And, straight after the game, it's important to get as much carbohydrate on as possible. Refuel your body and get as much back in as you can. As it tails off a day or two later you, ease off on the carbs and go to more protein, vegetables, and salads.

It's about doing what the team needs me to do, not what I want to do or what I think I can do.

When I was very young, coming into the Sunderland side, if we got beaten, I'd be very down. I'd go home, and it would drag on for days, I'd be thinking about the game. I was from Sunderland, felt things like a fan, and got really down.
