"It hasn't really felt real (yet). All this hard work I've done my entire life is about to pay off."
"I auditioned
forever. At first they said I was too small and too young."
"As soon as I read the script, I knew it kinda related
to me. I wanted to disguide myself as not some celebrity's daughter, just be me and find people that like me for me."
"I
thought a lot of girls wanna have their secret identity and have something they don't want to tell people about."
"[Playing
Hannah] is a total girl thing. It's like dressing up every day."
"Hannah in the show is enormous, like a Hilary Duff
of TV. I hope everyone really likes her. She's a great person!"
"I think Hannah gets nervous just like any
other person would. She's like a dork, personally. She's just really, really fun."
"Whatever person kids relate to
the most, I want them to call me that. Sp of Hannah's more who they find their inspiration in, call me Hannah. If they're
more an average girl who wants to blend in with everybody else, then call me Miley."
"People actually say Miley mostly
because they see Miley mostly on the show. When I have the wig on, they'll say Hannah, but when I don't, they'll say Miley."
"Some of the fanmail is interesting! Some of it's the lyrics to the songs and stuff, and they'll like, send me their
favourite lines, which is cool to...know what people are liking. Most of them are really cool to read."
"The beach
set of Hannah Montana is dirty, but it's kinda fun to feel like you're on the beach!"
"When preparing for a concert,
I do lots of training. I work with a choreographer to create great moves and then I have to keep my voice strong with lessons."
"It's itchy, really itchy and hot, but I like being blonde. I don't really want to dye my hair. I feel like a total
rock star with the wig on."
"Sometimes when I go into my dressing room at lunch, I'm like, " Is that me?" It's really
cool because it looks nothing like me, which is the point, but its really neat to see it!" [on being done up as Hannah Montana]
"When I was in Nashville, I went to our Macy's and went and tried on all the Hannah Montana stuff. Then I said, 'This
is weird, I'm wearing my face.'"
"I'm a big shoe person. Sometimes I'll be punky, the next day I'll be preppy. Every
day after work, my mom and I go shopping. My dad is about to kill me. I say, 'We need it, daddy!'"
"Every day, I go
on pretty big shopping sprees. But when I'm with my friends, they get even worse. Thery're always like, 'Come on, just do
it!' It's hard when you have someone to talk you into it."
"I love everything [Jessica Simpson] ever has on! Jessica
can definitely come pick me up in her little Mercedes and take me shopping if she wants!"
"I don't really have a style
-- I'm just me. My style is kinda whatever I feel like wearing. A lot of girls feel like they need to wear what everyone else
is wearing. But it's good to have your own trend. People will start following it!"
"I always have two bracelets on
my right arm. One is a purple and white bracelet from a fan. I love it! I also wear a bracelet from a waterpark- I've had
it on for two or three years. My mom says it's pretty nasty, actually. But you'll never see me without them ever! In magazine
photos, the bracelets are sometimes airbrushed our, but viewers will always see me wearing them during scenes."
"I
have candy all the time. I live on gummy bears and peach rings. They're like dried-up peaches, only dipped in sugar. You can
get 'em at gas stations. They're like 99 cents for four bags. And cashews. I love cashews."
"My favourite sport is
cheerleading!"
"They're going to be pretty harsh, so no matter what they're going to honestly think, they're going
to be like, "You stay, you go home." That was the most nerve-wracking part." [on auditioning for cheerleader]
"When
[my Dad and I] are doing photo shoots or something he'll just yell out things I wouldn't want anyone to know. Just random
stuff. "Remember that time when you were a kid?" That kind of stuff. But it's funny. It breaks the ice. It makes everyone
smile. If it takes embarrassing me to make everyone happy I'll take it."
"We'll have an argument at home, and then
I realize I'm going to have to drive to work with him. It's the logest hour of my life. If feels like I've been in the car
for four days!"
"What's good is that once my dad and I are home we are done. We don't even run lines together. Anything
that happens on the set stays on the set."
"The only advice my Dad's given me is: If you ain't having fun, it ain'
working, so always have fun with what you're doing. If you don't love it then there's no reason to do it. And don't do it
for fame or money- do it because it's something that you feel is right."
“My dad said, ‘Just stay in school
and do cheerleading. Be a normal kid.”'
“The training is pretty harsh, but it's so worth it once you're
on stage and getting trophies.” [on cheerleading]
"It was hard to leave my school. I've been going to the same
school since kindergarten."
"I come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da
and normal."
"Some people recognize me. I really like it."
“I went to Universal [Studios Hollywood theme
park] with my brother and a friend. The recognition was immediate. It was craziness — all the kids on every ride. I
felt like I was going to hurl after one ride and all the kids were like, ‘Hannah Montana is about to puke!”'
"I'll
be out with my friends and be recognized, and little girls will ask me for my autograph. It is so much fun living out your
dream. It, like, totally reflects me 100%."
"So then all these people were like following me. It got kind of creepy,
but then again, I was like, 'Oh, gosh, this is so cool! Awesome!'"
"I was having lunch with my brother and I had on
my pajamas, i wasn't wearing makeup, and my hair was totally nasty. So we get to the restaurant and the first thing I hear
is, 'You look a lot better on TV!'. Somtimes it's really weird to hear stuff like that. I just think 'Well that was harsh!'.
But then again, there are times when someone will come up to me and say , 'Ohmigosh! You're so cute and I love your show!'.
And when that happens I just think 'This is sweet!'"
“I’ll be doing a concert and I’ll look out
in the crowd and I’ll see 3-year-olds. Then I see 6- and 7-year-olds wearing ‘Hannah Montana’ wigs and all
this stuff. And then I look out and see people who are 18, 19 and 20. I think the reason the show has the wide range is that
no matter how old you are, no matter where you come from, you always have a dream or a goal that you’d like to achieve.
It shows just a normal girl reaching her dream. So I think that gives a little bit of inspiration to all the viewers.”
"As soon as I step on that stage, nothing matters. I don't think of it as work. It's just so much fun."
"There's
nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There's nothing like being on a set where you
are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That's the best job in the world."
“I was singing
on the stage with my dad when I was 2. I would sing ‘Hound Dog' and silly songs for the fun of it.”
"I
have four shelves covered with journals that I've written. Dad and I are writing songs together. I've probably written 100
songs."
"When you write or sing a song that means something to you, you are saying, 'You know what? This is who I
am!'"
"My Dad always told me that casting agencies are like artists picturing their paintings in their mind. They
know what they want for a role and not to take it too seriously [if I dont get the part]."
"Hilary Duff has been my
role model forever. I went to her concert like right when her music started coming out when I was probably like 11. I was
just amazed by her. So now, to be compared to her, it's like...holy moly. It's so cool!"
"I'm a big Hilary Duff person!
My family loves her."
"You don't have to go out and party every night. You can act because it's your dream."
"I
am not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me!"
"[In a fight] I try to be
the bigger person. There's no harm in saying, "You know what? Whatever. I'm going to let it roll off." I try to be generous
with my response."
"I’ve got to make really good decisions. And that helps me in my real life because it’s
that little voice in my head telling me right from wrong. More than just for myself, but for the girls who are watching me.”
"I'm pretty outspoken"
"Pink isn't just a color, it's an attitude!"
