Miley Stewart: I can't believe it. I'm going out with a ninth grader! Wooo!
Robby Ray Stewart: Well, don't believe it, because I'm not letting you go. Wooo!
Robby Ray: Do you guys think I'm being too tough on you?
Miley and Jackson: Yeah!
Robby Ray: Good, that means I'm doing my job right.
Lilly: Higher Oliver, I'm almost in.
Oliver: There is no higher. You're already standing on my head!
Lilly: Jump you idiot, jump!
Oliver: You have an extra ticket to Hannah Montana!? [everyone in lunchroom gasps.] That was really loud, wasn't it?
Miley Stewart: Well isn't that interesting. You have your opinions, and he has his. You've gotta love a guy who isn't afraid to say how he feels!
Josh: I'm a little afraid to say anything right now.
Miley Stewart: No, you're not. If everybody says that they like hamburgers, then he's not afraid to say that he likes hot dogs! Riight?
Josh: O-kay. [looks confused.]
Miley Stewart: And some people like skiing and he's not afraid to say that he likes snowboarding! [looks at Josh.]

Miley Stewart: Abso— What?!
Robby Ray Stewart: Son of a gun! That boy's got three feet!
Teenage Fan: I have been waiting so long for these scarves. I'm never taking it off!
Hannah Montana: Okay, just remember to shower in cold water only and lay yourself out flat to dry.
Answer: Many actors and actresses tend to be quite secretive about their ages, probably to try to fend off being automatically dismissed for possible roles as too old or too young or even just because they consider it to be nobody's business but their own. Earles appears to be one of these; as a result, reports regarding his age tend to conflict. However, as a rule, public records can generally be accessed to give a reasonable idea of their true age. He is, for example, listed as an alumni of Rocky Mountain College, from which he graduated in 2000, unless he graduated at the age of ten, that rules out the idea that he's only nineteen, realistically putting his age at at least thirty years old. A name search engine on the internet turns up a Jason D Earles who lived in Billing, Montana, near the college in the right time period, with a listed birth date of April 1977 - an individual with the same name and birth date also has a listing for California, where the actor currently lives. Other information available online also tends to point to a likely birth year of 1977. While Earles and his agent have every right to fudge his age as it appears on his resume for professional purposes, most of the verifiable information suggests that he is indeed currently 32.
