Quotes

“I don’t remember a lot from it [Dance Moms] because I started when I was 6 years old. That was my childhood. I never went to middle or high school or did any normal kid things. So, looking back at it, I feel sad for myself because I never got to experience real life.”

“I mentally feel like I’m 45 because I’ve lived so many lives. I had to grow up so quickly.”

“I’ve learned to be confident in myself, and if people don’t love what I’m doing, that’s totally fine.”

“Dance helps me in all aspects. I am so happy that I danced because even in my artistry—like when I’m writing a song—I think of how I would dance to it. I think of how other people would feel listening to my songs because when you dance, you express yourself with no words.”

“I just want to be loved and that’s it—I’m not asking for too much. You don’t even have to pay for me every time. Like, ask me if I’m good. Make me feel safe and secure. Get me flowers. I want to be with someone who I can be myself around and who can be my best friend, you know?”

“I still feel like I’m mentally 16.”

“That’s a crazy thing, being able to write a song and put it out to the world.”

“I write music for myself, honestly. It’s my form of therapy. I go into these writing sessions and I’m like, “Alright, guys, here’s the sitch.””
