If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus.

I'm not a wannabe Miley Cyrus.

Miley Cyrus, like all of us, needs to be loved. We all come from complicated parents... I understand her, and I love her, and I think things will be different with her. But you know, in the music business, sometimes you have to shock a little.

As the years went by, working on Broadway, I started seeing that I had a fan base and that they were mostly young girls. They are looking for someone that they can look up to, that they see as a role model. And I don't take that lightly; it's a big responsibility.

I think I'm a different kind of role model for young girls.

I'm not Miley Cyrus. There may be some similarities, but I'm my own person.

I'm a role model for lots of young girls.

I wanted to be a Disney Channel star! I wanted to be Hannah Montana.

I don't care to be famous. But at the same time, you look at all the role models these little girls have, and they don't have anyone to look up to. I mean, it's weird, but if I just hid out and didn't let myself be known, who would they look up to instead, you know?

I always wanted to be a model, never an actress. I would see children in ads and stuff and wanted to be like them.
