After all, you and your partner Lacey Schwimmer were runner-ups in Season 11. KM: Lacey and I want to compete in this competition more than any- thing!

Kyle Massey KW: How do you explain how well Dancing with the Star: Kyle Massey and dance partner Lacey Schwimmer. Bristol Palin did when you were on the show in spite of low scores from the judges? A lot of people were flabbergasted that she came in third. KM: Bristol came a long way. Even with the low scores from the judges she made a HUGE improvement. I think she is amazing on and off the hardwood! KW: If you get back on, will you ask to be paired with Lacey again? KM: Without a doubt I would want to be paired with Lacey! She’s the reason I came in second and I believe the two of us together are a force. KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would? KM: Yeah, “Where did you find your breathtaking swag- ger?” KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure? KM: That One Direction song about being beautiful. Ha- ha, it’s swag! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B006OITI- WS/ref%3dnosim/thslfofire-20 KW: The bookworm Troy Johnson question: What was the last book you read? KM: Does Twitter count?

KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see? KM: I see someone who wants to go home with that mir- ror ball trophy. KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for? KM: To have the power of Super Man! KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory? KM: Sleeping under the Christmas tree waiting for Santa. KW: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps? KM: Just stay focused and always believe in your- self. Keep moving toward your goal no matter what.
