While young girls look up to her, Miley Cyrus has her own role model she admires. The 15-year-old Hannah Montana star confides to Oprah Winfrey that she looks up to five years older Hilary Duff.
When asked why the former Lizzie McGuire star, Cyrus explains, "Because she's someone I got to watch, and I'm like, 'Hey, she's a normal girl.'"
The Disney Channel star says she dresses the part to be a good role model. "I like to look kind of what girls would want to look up to, and their moms and dads will say, 'Hey, that's cool. That's different.' I look way young and that's the way that's more comfortable for me."
Cyrus has talked about her country singer father as well as what keeps her grounded. She says dad Billy Ray has a big influence on her life.
"My dad - he's a big influence, not only because of the music but growing up around him. I've never seen him treat anyone less than with respect and love for everyone, down to the fans that wait until 3 in the morning until his bus pulls out at 5."
Christian girl Cyrus has said church is a huge part of her life. She quotes her favorite bible verse, Ephesians 6:10-11, "Finally, my brother, come close to the Lord for if you put on the full armor of God you can stand against the walls of a devil."
