Abby Lee Miller

I hate what I look like on TV, and I want to look better, and nothing makes the mothers more jealous.

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.

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 mother taught children to love to dance.

I rely on other people every day of my life.

I have spent the greater part of my life in a hotel room with seven or eight kids, looking after everyone, sorting out fights, wiping noses, handing out towels, not having a clean towel left for me.

If a whole bunch of people want to make your life a living hell, they're gonna do it.

I've been in continuing education programs since taking my dance master's exam at age 21.

I have dreams, and I want to see them come to fruition.

I'm a good teacher and am great at observation and picking out what's wrong and fixing it.

For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who's made one negative comment about me, I've probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.

I was raised to be independent.
