From the choreography to the competition to the attitude, this reality show can take anything and everything to the extreme.

But, coach Abby Lee Miller isn't the only one with great one-liners. These Maddie Ziegler quotes are equally awesome, and a lot more unique than the cliche "Dance like no one's watching."
