JJJ: What were some of your favorite moments on the show?
JM: The freestyle was pretty awesome. It was probably the dance I was most comfortable with since it was the only one remotely similar to the kind of dance I had done before. Plus, we won it so that was pretty cool.

JJJ: Can you pick your favorite dance? Why that one?
JM: The modern dance to Frozen we got all 10s for was sick. It was fun to use some physicality and throw Peta around.

JJJ: What has the show meant to you?
JM: It was a really cool opportunity to meet and work with a whole world of professionals I may have otherwise never even met. I think it made me a better performer overall. Even though I doubt I ever do a rumba walk again.

JJJ: Looking back, what made you want to join in the first place?
JM: Honestly, it just seemed fun. I spoke with a couple of my friends who had previously done the show, like Joey Fatone and Victor Ortiz and everyone said the exact same thing. It’s a lot of work but a hell of a lot of fun. It was also a nice change of pace from filming and tour.

JJJ: What’s one thing that you would want to say to your partner now?
JM: Good luck finding a better partner! Just kidding. But seriously…

JJJ: If you could do it all again, would you?
JM: I’m glad I did the show, but I’d like the next time I go on DWTS to be to perform my own music.

JJJ: Are you watching the show now? Who are you rooting for?
JM: I haven’t kept up with every episode but of course I always cheer on Peta. Since she’s out now, my votes go to Whitney. Sorry guys!

JJJ: What was the biggest hurdle for you to get over during your time on the show?
JM: Rumba walk and “floaty” hands. Neither are natural to the human body.
