When talking about her flaws and imperfections, Dita says, “I’ve had to try harder at everything I’ve ever done in my whole life except for being me. I’m not the youngest. I’m not the best dancer. I’m not the tallest. There are a lot of things that I’m not, but [that’s why] I feel people want me to win. We like to watch people who are slightly flawed."
She also, she adds, wears lingerie everyday – “That’s my gear. That’s what I’ve done since I was 16 and worked at a lingerie store. I just like it."

Finally, when talking about having discipline in her life, she says she manages to do everything herself - "I don’t have a glam squad. I don’t have a stylist. I don’t ask people to do things for me. The glitter on my bathtub [for the show]—I did that with my two hands. You know, I just like to do things myself because I feel like all those little things come across on stage."
