“I think going on tour, having lots of songs and music videos would be super cool.”

I think that is very important to me, that everyone loves everyone.

I should be on Broadway. You have to sing, you have to dance, you have to speak well, and I’m good at all of those!

I’ve always just worn bows. They just got bigger and better and sparklier – and then I became ‘JoJo with the bow bow,’ and it became a thing.

There’s always time to grow older. You can never grow younger.

I’ve always kind of just had a big personality and a voice that I wanted heard.

When I’m 19, I’ll still be living with my mom, but I’m going to be doing music and acting. I can picture it really vividly.

By the time I left ‘Dance Moms,’ I’d made so many friendships.

I tell myself I can’t have off days.

People call me energy in a bottle.

Anything can go wrong, but you can’t think about it all the time. You have to enjoy every moment.

If you are wearing a JoJo bow, you are a Siwanator. If you are a Siwanator, then you are nice, powerful, confident, and believe in yourself.

When I plan ahead, I don’t just plan what I’m doing tomorrow. I also plan what I’m doing five years from now.

I have experienced a lot of online bullying because I am homeschooled.

It’s a very hard goal. But, what I want is to tell people who are getting bullied to stand up to the bully and not let it be OK – tell a teacher, the principal, or your parents. I want people to stand up and to be confident.

Always have a black bow, a white bow, a rainbow bow – those bows will match literally just about everything!

Boomerang’ is all about coming back from the hate and not listening to the hate. It really tells a message.

I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.

I’ve always felt that rock & roll was very, very wholesome.

My heart is still there in gospel music. It never left . . . I’m gonna make a gospel record and tell Jesus I cannot bear these burdens alone.

I started singing in the bathroom, Nothing was coming out. It was ghastly.

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

R&B is not a fad; it’s the truth.

There will be slow songs, sad songs, happy songs, songs about boys, and songs about being who you are. I’m making sure I’m happy with all of the songs, because if I am not happy with them, I can’t expect anyone else to be, you know?

You’ve got to know much more than the mere technicalities of notes. You’ve got to know sounds and what goes between the notes.
