A Quote by Derek Hough

So all my life I have been singing and painting.
I was going to be a High School teacher. I was studying at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, up in Canada. I was also acting in a wonderfully supportive theatre community in Edmonton.

Acting over there is just not a success-oriented career.
