Star asks Julianne, "What are you more passionate about, singing or dancing?"

Julianne, "The music. Don't get me wrong, I love dancing and will always dance 0 it keeps me in shape, for one thing. But I'm not just a dancer. Music is where my heart is, and I am just going to keep focusing on that. It is cool to be able to show that side of me. I've sung country music my whole life, and to work in that genre professionally now is awesome!"

Q: Do you have a different approach when working the different fields?

A: Sure, DWTS is all about the celebrities. You are always watching out for them and trying to help them. This is about my passion and my career.

Q: Any truth to reports that Lance Bass and Kim Kardashian will star in the new season?

A: I have no idea. They don't tell us until about a week before rehearsal, and even when we find out who our partners are, we still don't know who else is taking part until the official release date.

Q: Any star you'd like on the show?

A: I'd love to get more country music artists involved, because they aren't known to dance. It's be awesome to get another Billy Ray Cyrus or Sara Evans type on the show.
