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.

People look up to me, like my music, and even follow me on Instagram because they know I'm keeping it real with them.

Oh my God, nothing compares to the pre-horse show jitters! It's like going on 'American Idol' or 'The Voice' all the time, because you're just going and getting judged for your entire show.

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 have a septum ring that I always keep pushed up in my nose, but if I put on a dress and think it's just a little girly for me, - boom! - I pop out my septum ring. Or I might throw on a big pair of hoop earrings - or a diamond choker. That's fancy, but not too proper or elegant because it's still a choker! It's all about making it your own.

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.

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 definitely grew up differently to most of my friends, and that was a little bit of a struggle then. I wouldn't want to change anything about the way I grew up, even though it was a different situation. I still love the way I grew up, and I had an amazing childhood with a really supportive family.

Whenever I go into the studio, I'm like, 'Guys, we're probably not going to get an uptempo out of this!'

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.

I take advice from both my sisters all the time. We try to help each other as much as we can without getting in the catty sister fight.

Because I love all animals so much, people should realize they don't have to cut into something to learn about it.

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.

I'm at the barn six days a week.

I had trouble getting jeans when I was growing up. I had little skinny legs and this booty that came out of nowhere.

My style changes once a month, if not once every two weeks.

Guys are awesome, but I vote for going to prom with a group of friends. It's so much less drama.

I don't feel pressure at all. I'm kind of a 'go with the flow.'

All I care about is my music.

It's OK to be different, and it's OK to not follow.

I had nothing to talk about until I, like, lived.

Every time I finish a song, I play it for my family. I don't hide anything.

The first song I wrote was for my friend. She was going through a really tough time.

My mom gives great advice, and so does my dad.
