Quotes from Noah Cyrus

My grandma is very musical and can play piano by ear, and my grandpa was in a quartet in Kentucky.

There's one thing my dad taught me: don't talk about politics, because you'll never make anyone happy. Don't even go for it.

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.'

Writing is the best way to get your mind clear. It's also a great way to explain your past or what you hope for the future.

We have this pre-show thing where we all get into a huddle and yell, 'Pop, pop, it's showtime,' and I have to give credit to Bruno Mars for that one. I started doing it after I became obsessed with '24K Magic.' I want to ask Bruno if he'll ever come to my huddle with me!

When I met Justin Bieber, I could barely speak. I was just going crazy inside.

It doesn't bother me that people compare me as a little sister or youngest daughter of my dad, but when my album does come out, I want to be thought of as Noah Cyrus.

I was 14 when I decided I wanted to start doing music and stuff. I was a really big fan of Ben Howard, and he put out a really amazing album in 2014, and then, after being inspired by my dad and Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran, I wanted to start writing songs.

Lady Gaga is my big fashion inspiration. I look up to her a lot.
