Hilary Duff has been my role model forever. I went to her concert like right when her music started coming out when I was probably like 11. I was just amazed by her. So now, to be compared to her, it's like...holy moly. It's so cool!
Miley CyrusThere's so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love. People try to say to me, 'I just heard someone say this or that about you,' and I just ignore it because it's irrelevant. Love is what makes the world go around, and that's all we need to focus on.
Miley CyrusI learned from you that I do not crumble. I learned that strength is somthing you choose.
Miley CyrusThey're not role models. So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for.
Miley CyrusIt just kills me to see people lose someone they love, so I want to do as much as I can: give money to doctors and hospitals; get nurses in there that care; put a smile on a little kid's face.
Miley CyrusEmbarrassment is the worst! It's the feeling of having your entire body go numb and not knowning what to do with yourself for that one moment
Miley CyrusI think at some point during everyone's life, you finally figure yourself out. I haven't even done that yet. I'm still learning who I am.
Miley CyrusThe pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen, and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone. Most of all, I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team.
Miley CyrusI don't wanna be shaped like a girl. I love being shaped like a woman, and trust me ladies, your man won't mind either.
Miley CyrusWith yourself, I think you have to decide the kind of person that you really want to be, and for me, it's just a sweet girl.
Miley CyrusThere are so many people that have come up to me during our shows and tell me: 'The hour that we are watching your show is the hour that my kids are happiest and are smiling, they are laughing,' and that is what I long to do.
Miley CyrusMy mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom.
Miley CyrusShopping, eating, and being with my friends. So, anytime that I am at home chillin', I will find a way to shop online. I'm like, "If I'm not allowed out of the house tonight then I am shopping online!
Miley CyrusYou need to see things, REALLY see them, feel them, live them, so you know what’s big and what’s little, what matters and what to put aside.
Miley CyrusEver since I was little, people would always make jokes about my low voice. But I think it's so cool that you don't have to have the picture-perfect, girly voice to do an animated film. I think it's great for kids with different voices to know that they could do something like this.
Miley CyrusI've never been that person to fake it, and say what everyone else wants you to say. Then you never have anything personal. If I wanted to be an actress all the time, I could do that. But I don't. I want to be real. I want to be a real person. That's what an artist is. An artist has to be honest. Without honesty, there's nothing.
Miley CyrusMy dad has never actually grounded me. He always tells my mom to do it. He tells her, "Miley was so bad today, you need to ground her.
Miley CyrusFor every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You never know what it’s going to look like on the other side, but you’ll see it eventually if you keep your eyes open.
Miley CyrusYou can't stop people from talking about you, but you can stop giving them something to talk about.
Miley CyrusI'm not saying you need to take a break because you're crazy. I'm saying you need to take a break so you can be crazy, and people aren't going to judge you. You're going to do dumb stuff from here on out. But do it in your own time. Do it safely. You can afford to protect yourself and still have fun.
Miley CyrusPeople actually say Miley mostly because they see Miley mostly on the show. When I have the wig on, they'll say Hannah, but when I don't, they'll say Miley.
Miley CyrusPeople are like, "Oh, I want to make your eyes almond." I don't have almond eyes! Why are you trying to change my eye shape?
Miley CyrusFor me, the movement has to be bigger than just a record. For me, a movement represents like taking over the world.
Miley CyrusI feel like I'm one of the biggest feminists in the world because I tell women not to be scared of anything.
Miley CyrusThe dreams that you hold for your future are what you dream about at night. They’re always at the back of your mind. They’re what your heart desires. They keep you going. Accept reality and have a backup plan, but always follow your dreams no matter what.
Miley CyrusI'm not letting any stupid decisions get in my way. I want to be a role model, letting girls know that they can follow their dreams.
Miley CyrusI come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da and normal.
Miley CyrusIf I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like, 'How do we get one of those?' and she was like, 'You can't get a dolphin. What are you gonna do, like, put it in your pool?'
Miley CyrusIf you look at me as a role model, I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don't because an idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them and I don't wish that on anyone to lose what they have personally, because that's when your spark is lost.
Miley CyrusImagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn't marry. And you couldn't have that special day the way your friends do-you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person's shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach
