“I would love to be a pop star!”

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.

Honestly, it’s hard to deal with the haters, but something that has helped me is not to focus on the haters and to focus on the nice people!

I don’t let the haters get their way.

Dance Moms’ was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life!

All my life, I have been a failure. A failure when I dropped out of college, A failure when I started my career. A failure when I wrote a book, A failure when my business closed down but, a failure to others, not to myself. And, you can also turn your failures into success, just like I did!

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career – when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge – it’s an ocean, and there are so many options. It’s not the end of the world if they don’t get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.

My style is not like anyone’s. I’m not a typical wrestler.

It’s pretty hard being a tennis player and Mother Theresa at the same time and that’s just the way it is.

Everyone liked me when I went up on the stage at a talent search in elementary school, and that’s when I decided to become a music artist.

Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don’t want to grow old and have regrets.

If you don’t like something don’t do it, and if you’re doing something then you better like it. It is as simple as that.

I never wanted to be an actor but ended up being one.
