Teen singing star Miley Cyrus has credited her father Billy Ray Cyrus with keeping her grounded, despite her status as a worldwide teenage celebrity. The 15-year-old, who plays pop star Hannah Montana in the Disney show of the same name, has praised the Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker for leading by example and respecting those around him. She tells talk show host Oprah Winfrey, "My dad, he’s a big influence, not only just 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 three in the morning until his bus pulls out at five."
