Trace Cyrus

“One of the things I love in life is art. That's one reason my entire body is covered in tattoos.”

“I think when we were making the first album, we were like 16, 17 years old, and I think just years and years of recording and playing shows - I know me, personally, I kind of figured out my style more and vocally learned a better way to sing in the studio.”

“With Metro Station, there were too many people trying to control us. That's not the thing you should do with an artist, I think.”

“I feel like every album I've done kind of had a theme.”

“People don't expect me to make pop music.”

“I never had my mind set on being an entertainer in the music business.”

“I have everything I could ever want in life.”

“There's something about pop songs that are remembered throughout time.”

“Metro Station, it was a crazy experience, because I felt like we just blew up really fast.”

“People wanna dance. People wanna have a good time. And people wanna party.”

“We want to be presentable and respectable, but feel like we can talk freely about what we want to sing about - we don't need to cuss to have that bad-boy attitude, I guess.”

“Every day's a learning experience.”

“I get a lot of tattoos for people in my family. Some of my friends I have tattoos for, some of my religious beliefs, things that represent me in different times of my life. They kind of tell a story. I like them.”

“I've had the worst relationships because with touring it's impossible.”

“I definitely enjoy doing big festivals and big shows.”

“Any song that does well, we're happy with. All we can do is keep writing great songs and hope that one catches on.”

“Like with MySpace and everything, my dad didn't even know what that was. And then all of a sudden, Twitter came around and he was taking pictures of my new tattoos and posting them and I was like, what's going on? I've never seen this happen before!”

“I basically grew up on the road with my dad, on a tour bus every summer since I was a kid.”

“Of course I think we're most thankful for 'Shake It,' because it's given us a lot of opportunities, helped us pay some bills and brought us pretty far in life. And it's fun to perform live.”

“London is a blast.”
