I lived in a bubble as a kid.

Dance was my escape from reality.

I'm not a yeller. But I am strict.

I live by green tea with lemon and honey.

I've always wanted to start my clothing line.

In my day-to-day life, I have lash extensions.

You don't have to be a size zero to be beautiful.

We're basically sewn into our costumes on 'DWTS.'

Don't underestimate the value of a great hair dryer.

Listen, you can never take the bedazzle away from me.

I have two sisters and neither one of them are dancers.

I want to try new things and just see what's out there.

I love to dance. I love to perform. I love to entertain.

I believe in everything in moderation, including exercise.

I actually don't really like shopping but I do love clothes!

My mom is Filipino and my dad is half Russian and half Irish.

I'm not really good on skates. But dance shoes I can dance in!

Professional dancers are known for their barely-there costumes.

I just want everyone to know you are beautiful in your own skin.

Tommy Chong is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world.

I always wear fake lashes - they just look so darn good on camera!

I've always had that naturally curvy body since I was 11 years old.

I like to wear layers - pants, tank tops, jackets - when I work out.

I swear by lash extensions. They cut my makeup routine time in half.

It's important to me to have a healthy tan with so much skin showing.

I'm putting healthy foods into my body and experiencing the benefits.

It sounds crazy, but I'm so married to my work that I rarely meet new people.

I created 'Disco Abs' so you could have as much fun getting in shape as I do.

When you have a buddy to work out with, you don't want to flake on that person.

I just saw the movie 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' and fell in love with that city.

If you don't have time, just run on a treadmill. It makes you want to eat better.

When you obsess about fitness goals they become unhealthy and impossible to achieve.

After doing 'Dance Moms,' I've been super inspired and motivated to work with girls.

Just being known for a skill you've worked on your entire life is an amazing feeling.

It's really hard for me to beat around the bush or lie, so sometimes the truth hurts.

I always love being able to dance with athletes because they just know how to be coached.

I've been so unlucky with dates for myself. So why not have someone else pick them for me?

My weight fluctuates, just like any other person's does, and there will always be critics.

I am not one of those girls who can just land in a split. I need to warm up to be flexible.

We will all face criticism throughout our lives, no matter where we live and what we weigh.

Jazzercise classes are a fun way for me to stay fit and dance - and it doesn't require a partner.

I'd like to maybe be a judge. I could be pregnant and judge. I just can't be pregnant and dancing!

Because I have been bullied and attacked about my body, body image has always been an issue for me.

It's important for me to keep my cardio up, especially for my body type, or I'll gain weight so fast.

It's like, either you're a great dancer and you're going to do great, or it doesn't come naturally to you.

I've had a lot of little girls write to me saying that they want to be dancers and that I've inspired them.

I still go through times when I'm down. I don't feel like I'm that strong woman that people think I am today.

Sometimes it's harder to untrain somebody with dance experience than it is to teach somebody with a new skill.

With dancing, it just brings out more flexibility, more core strength, and you definitely get a great workout.

I have personal experience dancing with someone who is a Republican and someone who worked for the White House.
