In 2007, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus opened up to the magazine about how they kept the Hannah Montana star in line — according to them it was “chores, church, and lots of love.” It paid off.
Tish on how crazy kids are today and how that's not going to be Miley:
"It is so scary as a mom to see all these kids who are so whacked now. I don't want to be too much and have her rebel. Not that we think she's going to do that."
Billy on how Miley has a good head on her shoulders:
"The biggest phenomenon in all this is that the kid's been able to keep her head on her shoulders."

On how her parents try to scare her straight:
“Her parents give Miley articles about Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton to read as cautionary tales. Says her mom [Tish]: ‘I’m like, Paris is in jail, Miley!’”
