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. – Maddie Ziegler
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. – Maddie Ziegler
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. – Maddie Ziegler
I like Sam Smith and Taylor Swift. I love pop music, but I also like Sam Smith’s slow songs. That would be more to dance to. I think dancers like different genres of music, compared to just a regular person. – Maddie Ziegler
Dance has definitely made me a better role model.When I’m performing, I’m always thinking about my face and my look. I used to have a much harder time with it. – Maddie Ziegler
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. – Maddie Ziegler
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. – Maddie Ziegler
I don’t feel that normal anymore because I get recognised, even when I’m just trying to have fun or going to get ice cream with my friends. – Maddie Ziegler
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. – Maddie Ziegler
I think it’s funny when people, they try to imitate the ‘Chandelier’ video. I think it’s hilarious. – Maddie Ziegler
I like Sprite a lot, but I try not to drink it. My mom doesn’t want me to drink Sprite because it’s unhealthy. So she always has me drink water, but it’s hard not to! – Maddie Ziegler
I met Drew Barrymore, and she was so cool. She told me, ‘I know I just had my baby three weeks ago, and that’s why I’m emotional, but I cried when you performed.’ And then she pulled out a tissue and said, ‘Look, I was sobbing.’ – Maddie Ziegler
I love snacks, but I’m kind of growing out of them. I’m getting into fruit and Clif Bars. – Maddie Ziegler
I just want to continue to pursue dancing. I want to focus on making it out there and showing everybody my heart and soul through dance… and do it until I can’t walk anymore. – Maddie Ziegler
When I came back from filming the ‘Chandelier’ video, everyone was like, ‘So what’d you wear? What did the room look like? How many chandeliers were there?’ And I was like, ‘Well, I wore a blond wig, a nude leotard, the room was dirty, and there was no chandelier.’ – Maddie Ziegler
I’d love to do something where I can act and dance at the same time, like on Broadway or in movies. – Maddie Ziegler
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. – 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. – Maddie Ziegler
I’ve been dancing since the age of two. I don’t really remember it, because I was little, but my mom signed me up and would put me in cute costumes. A lot of little girls get into dancing, but I loved it so much that I kept doing it. – Maddie Ziegler
I love dancing just because I’ve done it my whole life and it’s definitely what I want to do. I feel like, I want to train with acting and do movies. Those two are my main priorities. I definitely want to be able to sing and model, too. I definitely love those, too. – Maddie Ziegler
