Miley Cyrus Quotes

I don't think I like characters who are afraid and ashamed of who they are.

You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style. If someone says, 'Buy this - you'll be stylish,' you won't be stylish because you won't be you. You have to learn who you are first, and that's painful.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

It took a lot of time and practice for me to realise that there's no point trying to be something you're not.

Kids used to tell me I was weird all the time. When I got older, I wanted to embrace my name and I put it on everything. And I also wanted to embrace being weird.

When you're growing up, the most important thing is to try to not change yourself too much. Be you, because everyone else is taken.

Don't be afraid of growing up and changing and getting used to these newer versions of yourself and becoming more comfortable sharing those versions of yourself with the people in your life, even people who knew you when you were younger.

You are a success if you are being your real, authentic self.
