Maddie Ziegler is fast becoming one of the most popular and talented reality television stars out there and she is definitely moving full steam ahead when it comes to her plans of taking over Hollywood. The 12-year-old dancer recently opened up in a new interview about the success she's received thanks to her stint on Lifetime's Dance Moms and working with Aussie megastar Sia.

In an interview with In Style magazine on Wednesday, Ziegler talks about her vigorous dance routines along with the now famous nude leotard she wears in Sia's music videos for Chandelier and Elastic Heart.

She said, "With Dance Moms in L.A., we film on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When we film in Pittsburgh, we film the same days, but we still dance in our studio when we're not filming, so I'm dancing every day except Sunday. I usually start at 12:30 p.m. or 1 p.m. on every day except Thursday, and finish around 9:30 p.m., with a one-hour break in between. On Thursday, I start at 8:30 a.m. at the studio acting, and I have ballet right after, and dance until the evening."

As far as that leotard, Ziegler added, "Technically, I'm Sia's new face. I'm mini Sia, and she just wants the look to stay the same. I've worn the nude leotard in all of my performances: same wig, same outfit. It's the same concept of the character, just different roles we're playing. I'm still Sia, but in the Elastic Heart video, I was also playing a wolf. It's important to keep the outfit simple because the acting is so intense."

As far as how her life has changed since starring in those music videos, Ziegler admits that things have gotten pretty intense for her in the entertainment world.

She explained, "At first Dance Moms changed my life, but when Chandelier and Elastic Heart came out, my life became crazy-performing with Sia all the time, and doing all this cool stuff. It's so cool to be on the journey with her and everyone else."
