“Everyone should just be kind to one another.”

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.

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!

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.

Compassion is a college education. It’s a doctorate.

Lord’s love manifests in this world as compasssion.

Real compassion means to understand what the needs for body, mind and soul are.

Make of the Silence your to-do tasks, of the compassion your wealth and of the meditation your beggar’s bowl.

Keep a constant awareness and a conscious effort to say good words, perform good actions, and to practice patience and compassion.

Please be truthful, but also please be benevolent, please.

I think being compassionate of each other’s lives and issues is nonnegotiable when it comes to friendships. We’re all going through different stages and issues, and as I get older, I’m trying to lean into that.

From looking at your neighbor and realizing his true significance, and that he will die, pity and compassion will arise in you for him and finally you will love him.
