Quotes from Maddie Ziegler

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.

I love snacks, but I'm kind of growing out of them. I'm getting into fruit and Clif Bars.

Everyone's like, 'Oh, you must live in L.A., the glamorous life,' and I really don't. I'm in a small house, in Pittsburgh, in the snow.

My favourite TV show is 'Pretty Little Liars,' and I actually made a guest appearance on it. I didn't really have lines for my character, but I definitely want to get more into those kinds of shows.

I'd love to be on scripted TV shows and movies, but not just one - I want to be in a lot of them! I'd also love to sing and possibly be on Broadway. I want to do it all.

I don't want to be known as just a 'Dance Moms' competitor. I'd really like to be known for all of Sia's work, too.

I'm a beauty guru, I just love all of that stuff. We have a makeup artist for 'Dance Moms' that touches us up and stuff, but I love doing my own makeup; sometimes I do my friends', too. My favorite is doing eye shadow and eyeliner.

I really want to keep modelling, but it's not my number one goal in life. But it's so fun. I love doing it; it's just that - it's not like I just want to be a model when I'm older.

On a scale of one to 10, I feel I'm at a nine because there's definitely room for improvement. I know I could go further.

Every time I do a talk show or something, I'll be like, 'I'm doing 'Chandelier,' right?' and they're like, 'No, you're doing a skit and three dances.' It's different every time. I never really know what I'm doing until the day before.

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.

I think it's funny when people, they try to imitate the 'Chandelier' video. I think it's hilarious.

All I do is watch dance videos. I love Ricky Ubeda, who is a contemporary dancer, and I also love Madison Cubbage. They inspire me to work harder every day.

I love doing hair and makeup and making 'Video Star' videos with my friend, Kendall. I also love to draw. But my life is dance, dance and more dance. I wouldn't want it any other way.

I don't work with Sia every day; it depends what we do, whether we do performances or music videos, so the schedule is weird, but when we're off, we always try to see each other in between. We just hang out; we went to brunch one time, but for the most part I go to her house, and we eat and watch TV.

I particularly want more acting. I've been auditioning a lot, and I definitely want to act.

I usually get home from dance at 10 every night, and I'll watch TV for about 30 minutes, and then I'll go to bed.
