"It slowly turns, you let me burn and now We're ashes on the ground. I never meant to start a war, I just wanted you to let me in I guess I should've let you win."

"I look up at the stars Hoping you're doing the same."

"You love me for who I am Like the stars hold the moon Right there where they belong And I know I'm not alone"

"I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan. Welcome to the land of fame excess - am I going to fit in? I jump into the cab, here I am for the first time, I look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign."

"The last time I freaked out I just kept looking down. I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout. Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me. My best friend Lesley says "Oh, she's just being Miley.""

"The struggles I'm facing, the chances I'm taking. Sometimes they knock me down, but, no, I'm not breaking. I may not know it, but these are the moments I am going to remember most, just got to keep going."

"You used to call me your dreamer, And now I'm living out my dreams; Oh, how I wish you could see, Everything that's happening for me."

"I am aghast by the reaction of my latest post, it is completely amazing to me how defensive and in denial this country really is! You are not focused on the horrific tragedy I addressed but more angered that I am putting a BIG bright spotlight on the fact it was a 'WHITE AMERICAN MALE' terrorist that walked in & killed 26 people (including children) leaving 20 severely injured ! All of a sudden .... ' we are all equal ' 'human is human' 'skin color doesn't matter ' (NOW neither does gender) 'makes no difference if they were male or female' ...... BUT those things absolutely matter when ... someone completely legitimate is running for president (versus someone who isn't) , when a car runs over innocent people while professing their love to a GOD different from yours , it sure matters to the cops when they beat or even kill innocent people of color , it even matters at the airport/on an airplane or in immigration when folks are completely profiled & judged for their background . NOW it doesn't matter if someone is a man or woman?"

"My dreams have become nightmares & those nightmares , reality ... This isn't fair , this isn't right , this isn't just , this isn't human! This is a TERRORIST act by a WHITE AMERICAN MAN! I am heartbroken & embarrassed. Mortified by our country & its shitty system , lack of control/laws! This does NOT HAVE or NEED to happen! It's devastatingly disgusting! This is exactly why the lyrics of Bad Mood were so important for me to share on a major platform. I wanted to bring awareness to the fact that everyday we are waking up to more terrifyingly painful information that makes it nearly impossible to feel optimistic that things are going to change! They say it gets worst before it gets better in some cases & I wish on every star that this is the worst of it! I continue to be hopeful that enough is enough and the eyes of the ignorant will open and realize that (gun) VIOLENCE has to stop! This assholes Facebook profile photo was a fucking riffle ! "I don't know how much more it can take!" #FuckGuns #FuckViolence 🚫💔🚫💔 My love is with you TX!"

"The reason I kind of started this vegan lifestyle] was because I had a fish that was highly intelligent. When I would come through the door … this blowfish would go to the side and get excited … and he really knew who I was. He really got excited when I was home. … And one day … I went to a sushi restaurant with a few of my friends and they were serving blowfish, and I thought, "You know, this is an intelligent animal.""

"[On boyfriend Liam Hemsworth] I think we're both deeper than normal people. What they think and how they feel."

"I'm a Brad Pitt fan as an actor. I don't necessarily think he's good-looking. If I tell you guys who I think are cute, they're lame people. Like, I think Harry Connick Jr. is so cute. In 'Hope Floats' or 'P.S. I Love You,' isn't he the cutest? Yeah, he is. I think Gerard Butler is 'Oh, my God.'"

"I can mix and match a cute shirt with some skinny jeans under a leather jacket and it looks fun and unique."

"When I first moved to LA, no one could understand a thing I said, you would think I was speaking another language. Every time I would order something at Starbucks, they would go, 'Huh? What did you say?' My accent was an issue and my low voice was as well. They thought I should be more girlie. But that's who I am."

"I had one normal job and I actually liked it. I worked at this place called Sparkles Service and I cleaned guys out. I was like 11. I can clean toilet bowls too!"

"I've already fallen in love with 20 guys since I've been here. The accents sound so intelligent. I love the way the guys are so classy and wear trench coats."

"The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen, and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone. Most of all, I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team."

"I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me, I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together, and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams."

"Some people don't have a family to fall back on, like I have, and that's when something greater than even that comes in, and that's faith and that's what I have for me, that's what keeps me strong."

"Some people think you have more privileges than other teenagers because of what you do, and that's not it at all. It's actually the opposite."

"I understand... the pressure is definitely hard, but I think just keeping your head on your shoulders is easier than it looks. I think if you know who you are, then I think you'll be fine for the rest of the way."

"I kind of take Hilary as a role model because she started out at about the same age, she hadn't done much before starting her series, and I haven't either."

"Being famous is like a dream come true but it's really difficult because you lose your freedom. I don't want to lose being a kid."

"Reason has moons, but moons not hers Lie mirror'd on her sea, Confounding her astronomers, But, O! delighting me."

"'Twould ring the bells of Heaven The wildest peal for years, If Parson lost his senses And people came to theirs, And he and they together Knelt down with angry prayers For tamed and shabby tigers And dancing dogs and bears, And wretched, blind, pit ponies, And little hunted hares."

"Time, you old gipsy man, Will you not stay, Put up your caravan Just for one day?"

"'...one of those men who seem commonplace when first met but then prove to be completely original both in their work and their lives... Apparently slight and unpretentious, his work has a queer magic, which is what I want from poetry."

"The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a conservative organization. I am a conservative. You can't get more conservative than being a conservationist. Our entire raison de etre is to conserve and protect. The radicals of the world are destroying our oceans and our forests, our wildlife and our freedom."

"Martin Luther King, Jr. once wrote that you cannot commit an act of violence against a non-sentient object. Back in 1986, the Green Party of Canada tried to toss me out of the Party for sinking whaling ships on the ground that it was a violent act. I pointed out that the Green Party of Canada supported violence when it was convenient politically — for example they supported and continue to support abortion which is, like it or not, a violent act, certainly more violent than sinking some metal into the sea. Violence is not violent when we justify it, be it abortion, or war, or eating meat for example. I support abortion but I'm not a hypocrite about it — it's violent, I accept that. Every American taxpayer accepts the violence that their tax-dollars fund."

"We're now in the midst of a 3rd World War, but this time the enemy is ourselves, and the objective is to save the planet FROM ourselves. There's no hope for masses of humanity to do anything — they never have, they never will. All social change comes from the passion and intervention of individuals or small groups of individuals. Slavery wasn't ended by any government or any institution. Women got the right to vote not because of any government. The civil rights movement, the same thing. India with Mahatma Gandhi, South Africa with Nelson Mandela. Again, it's always individuals. You need those individuals with the passion and the energy to get involved. In fact, I don't know of any government or any institutions that are doing anything to solve any of these problems. All over the world, all I am seeing is individuals and non-government organizations that are passionately involved in protecting ecosystems and species, and that's where I see some optimism. That's where I see results are happening."
