Personally, I have a lot of things I have to do with my life, and getting caught up with drugs is not one of them. I am a very focused person, when I get in on something I'm going to do it.'
Despite fame, JoJo tries to stay grounded in real life, 'I love in Massachusetts, I don't need to be in Hollywood. I've had the same best friend for eight years.
I'm not in with the paparazzi, and I have a very normal life for what I get to do. I know a lot of young performers who want to be their best. I the people I have around with all have that mind-set. They don't want to do this just for money. They want to be legends.'[source]
