Quotes
- Miley: (About Hannah Montana) I am fully committed to Hannah Montana. It's what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people. I'm really excited about our new season. We are making great new episodes that I can't wait for our fans to see and I'm looking forward to the "Hannah Montana" movie that will be out in the spring.
- Miley: (About dating at 15) I am too much to handle right now, with all my traveling, and cameras following me everywhere. It's not an ideal situation to be dating anyone. I have guys who are good friends, but I kind of like to be the girl that nobody can get. It's a lot more attractive to be the girl where guys say, "Hey, she's cool. I'd like to be with her".
- Miley: (On the false stories printed about her) There have been all kinds of crazy, false stories. I've had pregnancy rumors, I've been getting married, I've been moving away from my parents... My mom was like, "When are you going to tell me about this?".
- Miley: (about her highly controversial "Vanity Fair" photo shoot in 2008) I feel so embarrassed. I hope my fans 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.
- Miley: It's cool to know people support you!
- Miley: (about her upcoming memoir) I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.
- Miley: I'm more of a casual type of chick, so I usually just wear my favorite jeans when I go out.
- Miley: I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad's not overly protective, but he's a dad no matter what.
- Miley: (About making people happy) There 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: Some people don't have a family to fall back on, like I have, and that's when something greater than even that comes in and that's faith and that's what I have for me. That's what keeps me strong.
- Miley: I need more friends. It's kind of like my quest right now just to have more true friends.
- Miley: I do love meeting fans, but sometimes, when I look horrible and see people, I'm like, "Oh no, they're going to be scarred for life. They're never going to look at me the same way!" But it's still fun meeting new people.
- Miley: I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South--Tennessee, to be exact--and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him!
- Miley: It's a long ride to the top, but it's only a short ride down, so it makes me very nervous. I'm like, "Oh my gosh, am I doing enough? Do people still like my music?" I get really stressed out over that.
- Miley: I'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: In general, I like guys who are musicians or into music like I am. I need a guy who's calmer than i am because I'm hyper and my mom tells me I need one who has a T-Mobile cell plan, like mine, so my phone bill won't be outrageous.
- Miley: My dad says I could sing before I could talk, if that's possible. I was always humming and things like that.
- Miley: As soon as I read the script (For Hannah Montana), I knew it kinda related to me. I wanted to disguise myself as not some celebrity's daughter, just be me and find people that like me for me.
- Miley: If you believe in yourself anything is possible.
- Miley: (Faith is) the main thing. That's kind of why I'm like here in Hollywood: to be like a light, a testimony to say God can take someone from Nashville and make me this, but it's his will that made this happen.
- Miley: I've always loved singing, and I've always loved acting and dancing. Getting this opportunity with Disney (the role of Hannah Montana), I get to do it all. They let you do everything you love.
- Miley: It's been an insane year. I watched my dad doing this my whole life, and then it was my turn to step up to the plate and follow in his footsteps. It's been my dream to sing, but I also thought it would be cool to act and get to be someone else. Having this amazing role of Hannah Montana, where I get to sing and act, has been really fun.
- (On her dad)
Miley: I think my dad is a lot cooler than other dads. He still acts like he's still 17. - (When asked which character is more fun to play, Miley Stewart or Hannah Montana)
Miley: I have more fun playing Hannah, because I like to sing and dress up. - Miley: My dad and I talk all the time about the important stuff in my life. He and my mom know how much I appreciate them and our relationship is good because we spend time together. I am happy to be a part of this day to help other kids feel the same way.
- Miley: Sometimes I'll be punky, the next day I'll be preppy. Every day after work, my mom and I go shopping. My dad is about to kill me. I say, "We need it, daddy!".
- Miley: I'll be out with my friends and be recognized, and little girls will ask me for my autograph. It is so much fun living out your dream. It (Her show "Hannah Montana") totally reflects me 100%.
- Miley: (About her character) I think Hannah gets nervous just like any other person would. She's like a dork, personally. She's just really, really fun.
