Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray: I don't like to argue. I hate confrontation. And I just, you know, I just want everything to be smooth. I want the whole world to be smooth. I want everyone to quit fighting and killing each other, and just love each other. If the whole world could just do something really nice for their fellow man on one given day, it might save us from self-destructing as a human race.

Billy Ray: I've never been big on discipline. I try to be a friend to all my kids. I try to be the one they want to talk to when they're having a problem. I think they're going to be all right, but I'm the last one to cast a stone at any of these kids, because heck, man, I've made mistakes along the way. I happen to be very good at making mistakes. But like my dad always said, "When you make a mistake, stand still, figure it out, and then take a step in the right direction".

Billy Ray: (about his career) It's going great. This is what I love to do--make music and throw in a little acting on the side.
