“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.”

I love doing YouTube. That’s where my heart is, and so it makes me sad when I can’t put a good, fun, energetic video out, because that’s what I love to do – and that’s my passion. And that’s who I am.

Everyone should just be kind to one another.

Dancing and singing are the two things that have stuck with me throughout my life.

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!

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.

No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit.

I keep kind of making certain mistakes in public appearances over and over again.

For work I get so dolled up that it’s nice to wear boyfriend jeans and a sweater.

I don’t tend to go totally bare, but on non-filming days, I will only wear tinted moisturiser, mascara, blusher, and a ChapStick for my lips.

Put on a sweater and really great sneakers with a big scarf, and you’ll look so stylish. For me, they are an everyday essential.

There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.

The atheist, by merely being in touch with reality, appears shamefully out of touch with the fantasy life of his neighbors.

I love pink – pink’s my favourite. I hardly ever – weirdly – wear it, but I love the colour pink.
