“I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me...” — Miley Cyrus Quote

“I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad's not overly protective, but he's a dad no matter what.”

“My dad says I could sing before I could talk, if that's possible. I was always humming and things like that.”

“I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I've definitely learned a lot.”

“I don't think we have very good records about what they were thinking except, as I pointed out earlier today, that they did invent our political system.”

“I think teaching keeps me honest because if I'm up in front of a class talking about what I think is important about fiction while knowing I myself have just failed to do that hours earlier at my computer - it's a good and humbling reminder.”

“When I was a playwright earlier in my career - my senior project in high school was my first produced play - I used to put on the title page: 'A tragedy with laughs.'”
