Miller: "I have no problem yelling at anybody's kid - free of charge!"

Miller: "Everybody wants to be me. What can I say?"

Miller: "When you walk into my classroom, I'm going to give it to you straight, just like in the real world, because that's the only way to prepare you for the real world."

Miller: "I'm a can-do girl."

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

Miller: "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."

Miller: "My success rate speaks for itself."

Miller: "I'm not talent. Not considered 'talent' by Lifetime. I'd like to say I'm their savior, but that would be cocky."

Miller: "I was never focused on me, me, me all the time. I was always focused on somebody else."

Miller: "If you have the ability to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and start over, you come out stronger because you learn from whatever mistakes you made."

Miller: "I don't want to hear the word 'can't.'"

Miller: "So many people think of me as a character on TV, but first and foremost, my passion is teaching dance and creating employable, working dancers."

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

Miller: "I was told that someone on Facebook said something 'horrible' about me. Who cares? At least they're watching the show."

Miller: "I teach children to be winners."

Miller: "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."

Miller: "I want to retire and want to be able to live out my days financially secure. That's what everyone wants."

Miller: "The rules are there for a reason."

Miller: "How does a nice Catholic girl end up going to prison for a year? It's crazy. I've made mistakes. I have to pay for those mistakes."

Miller: "I have an eye for detail."

Miller: "Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place."

Miller: "I've always put everybody else's child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame."

Miller: "Cry if you have a compound fracture, by all means. Or if your grandpa died. But otherwise, save it for your pillow."

Miller: "Dancers are always striving for perfection. A great dancer never achieves it: you always want to do another turn, a higher jump, a more difficult acrobatic jump."

Miller: "I do not raise brats!"

Miller: "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."

Miller: "I try to be vegan... I really, really try. I don't eat any red meat, and the whole animal thing really upsets me, so I've tried."

Miller: "Like it or not, there are a lot of dance teachers in this country who respect me, whether they personally like me or not."

Miller: "I'm not a bad person."

Miller: "I think any activity you have your kids in, you're all trying to live vicariously through them. And you're jealous of the kid that's naturally more talented or has the facility, the body, the genes, or the God-given talent. People get jealous of that."

Miller: "People don't realise how difficult it is to work with people day in and day out that know absolutely nothing."

Miller: "I make decisions all day, so it's nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, 'Let me order.' Other women would be offended by that, but I'm like, 'Good. Because I can't make one more decision today.' I want someone to rub my feet without being asked."
