With 'Dance Moms' in L.A., we film on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When we film in Pittsburgh, we film the same days, but we still dance in our studio when we're not filming, so I'm dancing every day except Sunday.
You have to stay in shape for dance. I don't want to be too skinny, but I don't want to be overweight. I want to be in the middle.
My dream is to continue dancing forever. I would kill myself if I didn’t dance.
I want to stay with dancing, because that's what I want to do the rest of my life. I want to be in film and be acting and maybe even modeling a little bit.
I'm very artistic - I feel like ever since I was born I've been drawing. I actually have a picture in my room that I painted, and people are always like "Where did you buy that?" It's cool that people are impressed by it.
People know that I always do my hair and makeup, but I also love doing crafts. I love getting a blank canvas and painting something.
Losing is not a good feeling, but I don't ever lose anyway.
I just walked out of the room. I was like, I'm embarrassed, so I need to leave.
When I'm not dancing, I usually just like to keep it comfy. Even if I'm just going to dinner, I'll wear jeans or something, but if I'm not dancing, I usually just have a comfy outfit on.
When I came back from filming the 'Chandelier' video, everyone was like, 'So what'd you wear? What did the room look like? How many chandeliers were there?' And I was like, 'Well, I wore a blond wig, a nude leotard, the room was dirty, and there was no chandelier.'
