I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I've definitely learned a lot.

Music is what I breath, what I love to do. It keeps me alive.

I don't want to be perfect, but I do want to be a role model. My mom always tells me that imperfections equal beauty. All of us are imperfect.

I told my mom, 'I'm not buying another magazine until I can get past this thought of looking like the girl on the cover'. She said, "Miley, you are the girl on the cover,' and I was, like, 'I know, but I don't feel like that girl every day.' You can't always feel perfect."

My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom.
