“TV's a big deal in prison. A big deal. People watch it nonstop.”
“If you want someone to say, 'She's so sweet, and she's so cute, and, honey, point your foot,' that's not my school. You can go to the YMCA and have a nobody teach your kid if that's what you want to hear.”
“I rely on other people every day of my life.”
“I have a little bit of PTSD when I hear a big bang or a loud noise or keys - I jump out of my skin.”
“My success rate speaks for itself.”
“When I tell a child something the first time, I'm nice. The 15th time, I start to get aggravated.”
“I can take a beginner kid that has never danced in their lives, and I can teach them something, or I can take a really advanced dancer, and I can make them into a professional.”
“Cry if you have a compound fracture, by all means. Or if your grandpa died. But otherwise, save it for your pillow.”
“People don't realise how difficult it is to work with people day in and day out that know absolutely nothing.”
“I have goals.”
“I've always put everybody else's child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.”
“According to Lifetime, I don't know anything about TV.”
“If your mom cries a lot, you probably cry a lot. It's what you learn.”
“I had a PET scan, and it was cleared. Not one cell of cancer after three rounds of chemo. But I still had seven more just for safety, which was stupid. I should have just worked on therapy.”
“My wheelchair is like the Cadillac of wheelchairs; it goes up and down and back, and I can lay down in it.”
“I didn't have any children of my own.”
“I've been invited to do 'Dancing With the Stars' three times, but Lifetime said no.”
“I don't like people going behind my back.”
“I just was never into performing. It's just hard work. It's hard work.”
“I was told that someone on Facebook said something 'horrible' about me. Who cares? At least they're watching the show.”
