“I ripped my Achilles heel, had crutches for a year. It was really embarrassing.”

“I love people. If I do something good and people enjoy it, I like making people happy.”

“School, you have to do and that’s not always fun but acting, you shouldn’t do it if you don’t love it.”

“I like fashion a lot. I like Pucci for all the patterns. I love vintage but I also love modern style. I mix everything. It’s my own style.”

“My mom and I were in New York for the summer and I modeled for Ford. One time, I would not stop talking at the photoshoot so someone there said to my mom ‘I think you have her in front of the wrong camera. You should go meet these people’. My mom had no idea what she was getting into and I got my first commercial.”

“I live a very adult life: I have two different careers; I’m on tour. What am I going to do, hang out with the high school kids? I just can’t relate to what they talk about-it seems so petty…I’ve had lots of relationships. My parents know that I’m not going to date someone who’s sixteen.

“…life is not rainbows and butterflies.”

“The other day, this reporter brought his 12 year old daughter to an interview. She was looking at me opened-mouthed, like: ‘I want stripper shoes Daddy!’ He hated me!

“I was raised Catholic. I fucked a priest once – I’m just kidding.”

I’m not dissing Miley personally. However, I do think the Disney bubblegum shit that the world is living right now is pathetic. I thought we passed that repression. I don’t know Miley, but musically we’re different.”
