My dad, Billy Ray, he had a huge hit in the '90s with 'Achy Breaky Heart.' And, you know, as a kid I always said I wanted to be just like my dad. And it's crazy - just be careful what you wish for because I had the same thing he had, which was a huge hit off his first album.

I kind of feel like God took away Metro Station and the greatness there so I could settle down and have my love life.

Trace Cyrus

Love Life Great

Metro Station, it was a crazy experience, because I felt like we just blew up really fast.

Trace Cyrus

Experience Use Us

Some of the most successful artists are the weirdest ones - look at Lady Gaga. I've done shows with her and she's amazing.

Trace Cyrus

Success Art Amazing

With Metro Station, there were too many people trying to control us. That's not the thing you should do with an artist, I think.

Trace Cyrus

Art You Yin

I'm glad Metro Station didn't turn out like Jonas Brothers. They need a Disney movie to become famous. Our songs overpower that.

Trace Cyrus

Power Famous Us

I basically grew up on the road with my dad, on a tour bus every summer since I was a kid.

Wit Very Us

There's something about pop songs that are remembered throughout time.

Time Tim Through

When people first meet me, they think I'm going to be a mean guy or something. I guess I just need to prove that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Trace Cyrus

You Us Think

Any song that does well, we're happy with. All we can do is keep writing great songs and hope that one catches on.

Trace Cyrus

Hope Great Writing

Growing up and playing guitar with my dad and stuff like really influenced me. It definitely must've had an impact on why Miley wanted to sing and why I wanted to sing and play guitar as well.

I've had the worst relationships because with touring it's impossible.

Relationship Worst Wit

Of course I think we're most thankful for 'Shake It,' because it's given us a lot of opportunities, helped us pay some bills and brought us pretty far in life. And it's fun to perform live.

Trace Cyrus

Thankful Life Use

I get a lot of tattoos for people in my family. Some of my friends I have tattoos for, some of my religious beliefs, things that represent me in different times of my life. They kind of tell a story. I like them.

Time Life Family

I think it's everyone's dream to tour the world to play music.

Trace Cyrus

Music World Very

Like with MySpace and everything, my dad didn't even know what that was. And then all of a sudden, Twitter came around and he was taking pictures of my new tattoos and posting them and I was like, what's going on? I've never seen this happen before!

Trace Cyrus

Space Wit Very

One of the things I love in life is art. That's one reason my entire body is covered in tattoos.

Love Life Art

I've always been into fashion and thought it would be amazing to have a clothing line. I just never thought I would have a chance to do something like that.

Trace Cyrus

Chance Amazing Would

I want to be myself.

L.A. is the most accepting city I've ever been in.

People don't expect me to make pop music.

Music Us T

I mean, I want my live show to be like a Marilyn Manson show, where it's gruesome and dark, but I want the music to be straight-up pop.

Trace Cyrus

I love all types of music... but pop is where my heart is at.

Trace Cyrus

Good Charlotte I look up to in so many ways.

Trace Cyrus

I think a lot of bands have hit songs that don't get the attention that they ever are going to deserve.

Trace Cyrus

A lot of great songs get looked over.

My dad, Billy Ray, he had a huge hit in the '90s with 'Achy Breaky Heart.' And, you know, as a kid I always said I wanted to be just like my dad. And it's crazy - just be careful what you wish for because I had the same thing he had, which was a huge hit off his first album.

Trace Cyrus

I have everything I could ever want in life.

Trace Cyrus

I think when we were making the first album, we were like 16, 17 years old, and I think just years and years of recording and playing shows - I know me, personally, I kind of figured out my style more and vocally learned a better way to sing in the studio.

Trace Cyrus

Every day's a learning experience.

Trace Cyrus

Geronimo' was great, but when I listen back to that now, I'm like, there's so many things I would have done differently.

Trace Cyrus

I feel like every album I've done kind of had a theme.

Trace Cyrus

I never had my mind set on being an entertainer in the music business.

Trace Cyrus

People wanna dance. People wanna have a good time. And people wanna party.

Trace Cyrus

London is a blast.

Trace Cyrus

I definitely enjoy doing big festivals and big shows.

Trace Cyrus

Playing in front of a bigger crowd is such a fun feeling, and getting to play to more kids is always better.

Trace Cyrus

I was just obsessed with bands like Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Everclear - those were shows I was going to. A lot of those bands definitely inspired me. Those bands' songs are powerful enough that they can last forever.

Trace Cyrus

I'm not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy.

Trace Cyrus

I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can't live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that's totally fake.

Trace Cyrus

We don't want to cross too many lines or offend the parents at all.

Trace Cyrus

We want to be presentable and respectable, but feel like we can talk freely about what we want to sing about - we don't need to cuss to have that bad-boy attitude, I guess.
