Billy Ray Cyrus talks dangers of fame

Billy Ray Cyrus think that fame can be dangerous.

The singer, actor and father of superstar Miley Cyrus, admitted that “fame can be dangerous” in an interview with Parade magazine.

“I try to focus on the positive,” he said. “I think it’s important to stay focused on where you wanna go… And there will be a lot of distractions out there. That’s why it’s all the more important to stay focused on what you believe in.

“I’ll lean back to a couple buddies of mine, one being Waylon Jennings, the other being Johnny Cash, the other being Carl Perkins, all three of those great men said the same thing to me: ‘Cyrus, keep it real. Be who you are and do what you do because you love it.’ I’ve followed that example of keeping it real. Nothing else in this business is worth it. Don’t be chasing fads or trying to necessarily be the guy that’s trying to fit in with everybody else. Be who you are and be an original.”
