"I think for the first time me and my whole family are really communicating with each other," Billy Ray told the ladies of The View (via Huffington Post). "Things are really the best they’ve ever been."
Billy said he has dropped the divorce from Tish and admitted that he shouldn't have done his controversial interview with GQ.
“It destroyed my family,” Billy said in the interview of his Disney show with Miley, Hannah Montana. “I’ll tell you right now — the damn show destroyed my family. And I sit there and go, ‘Yeah, you know what? Some gave all.’ It is my motto, and guess what? I have to eat that one. I some-gave-all’d it all right. I some-gave-all’d it while everybody else was going to the bank. It’s all sad.”

OK! NEWS: BILLY RAY CYRUS SAYS HANNAH MONTANA "DESTROYED MY FAMILY"
But he's changing his tune now.
"I love Hannah Montana. I love Disney. That didn’t tear my family apart," he said on The View. "Now fame, fame is a different animal, now fame you’ve got to be careful with that thing."
"I did learn this--doing an interview when you are mad and scared is a whole lot like going to the grocery store when you're hungry," Billy Ray explained. "It's not a good idea."
