Discipline Quote by Billy Ray Cyrus
“I've never been big on discipline. I try to be a friend to all my kids. I try to be the one they want to talk to when they're having a problem. I think they're going to be all right, but I'm the last one to cast a stone at any of these kids, because heck, man, I've made mistakes along the way. I happen to be very good at making mistakes. But like my dad always said, 'When you make a mistake, stand still, figure it out, and then take a step in the right direction.'”
