I almost got my babysitter arrested when I was 7.
— Noah Cyrus
Falling in front of an audience - that's, like, my biggest fear.
Watching her, I've seen the pros and cons of being in the industry, and how so many people can be so harsh - especially toward someone as talented as Miley. But I look up to her for being so strong, being able to take all of that hate and being able to deal with people who misunderstand who she is.
They say your taste palate changes every seven years, so maybe your personality changes every five, you know?
I love writing sad songs.
I'm now able to show who I am as an artist.
Anything that's really made an impact on my life, I want to get in the studio and write about it.
I wanted people to connect to me on that level where I can write about anything, but it would still make someone feel a certain way.
I definitely made friends with the people I like to write with, but I'll also write with people I haven't met before or producers I haven't met before because how are you supposed to make those friends without trying?
I had trouble getting jeans when I was growing up. I had little skinny legs and this booty that came out of nowhere.
To think that any animal would be trapped makes me so sad. It's like living in your bedroom for your entire life and never being able to go outside.
I didn't want to do anything but ride horses until I was, like, 15.
I've experienced cyberbullying my entire life due to just having a last name that people knew.
I just want people to know it's OK to really feel their feelings.
I had nothing to talk about until I, like, lived.
It's OK to be different, and it's OK to not follow.
I wanted to be a horseback-riding trainer and to go to the Olympics as an equestrian.
Of course, my sister and my dad, I respect as musicians and look up to them, but people kind of forget that they're my family, so my first reaction isn't always, 'Let me see what my dad and Miley think about this record.'
Whenever I go into the studio, I'm like, 'Guys, we're probably not going to get an uptempo out of this!'
It's cool to step away for a second and be my own person other than just somebody in a known family.
If I could borrow anything from Miley, it would be her stage confidence. For me, that's just going to come with time.
I definitely like making my friends in the music industry.
'We Are... ' is all obviously about social media and kind of the insecurities around social media and how people have become addicted to their phones and altered children's minds to what they need to look like, what they need to dress like.
What a lot of the public doesn't know, and I'm sure my fans aren't aware of, orcas have died living at Sea World, and that has not been from old age.
I love animals so much.
As a twelve-year-old girl, I thought that I was only pretty if the people on social media told me that I was pretty - and they weren't telling me I was pretty. So I didn't think I was pretty, and I was really down on myself, and I really was sad with myself. But social media doesn't give you validation or make you pretty. You make you pretty.
I obviously want a safe world for everybody if we're getting really deep, but my safe and happy place is always going to be music.
You should do the sound that you want and not what others want.
That's my dream - to play Coachella... not as a guest but as me!
Everybody thinks that I would go to Miley and my dad for advice, and I get that they're very successful and very big in the music industry, but I look at them as my sister and my dad.
I write about so much personal stuff, it's like reading my diary.
I was so excited to do 'Slow' with Matoma. The song is lyrically so beautiful, and the production brings it all to life.
Because I love all animals so much, people should realize they don't have to cut into something to learn about it.
I've always wanted to be my own person. Even when I was 'Noah who rode horses,' I wanted to be Noah Cyrus, not anyone else or a family member.
I like writing with people. I think the times that I've closed myself off to not writing with people, I haven't gotten the best product because I haven't had anyone to go back and forth with and really discuss what's going on in my life, what's going on in their life. It's so important to have that connection.
Lunchtime is hard when you don't have a lot of friends.
You should always speak up. That's what I like to teach my fans - to be real and speak up for things you're passionate about.
A lot of people like to judge you and make fun of you on the Internet, and people make you feel crazy whenever you're in a depression or having anxiety or having a panic attack.
There was just a moment when I fell in love with singing, probably when I started listening to Ben Howard and his album 'I Forget Where We Were.' I fell in love with that album, and that album really made me fall in love with singing.
All I care about is my music.
