Sobre su infancia
Billy Ray nombró a su hija Destiny Hope porque el creyó que era su destino traer esperanza a este mundo. (Legalmente lo cambió a Miley, un apodo de la infancia, en 2008). Ella creció en una granja de 500 hectáreas a las afueras de Nashville, cerca de una ciudad llamada Thompson's Station. "Ni siquiera habían postes de luz," Miley comenta "Mi papá puso todos los postes de luz y señales de pare porque no había nada alrededor. Él es como el alcalde, porque la ciudad no tendría luces si no fuera por él. Ahora tienen hasta un Starbucks, es tan raro."
Como niña, Miley siempre estuvo fuera. "Era una especie de semi-nudista, porque nunca tenía la ropa puesta." Ella creció andando en 4x4s (los cuales ama) y caballos (por los que esta loca). Ella era divertida, extrovertida, una ligeramente extraña niña que amaba el cheerleading, Limp Bizkit y Hillary Duff. A veces iba de tour con su padre, y su trabajo era ir al escenario luego de terminado el show y recoger toda la ropa interior y los corpiños. "Una vez agarré uno bien grande y fui como '¡Papá! ¡He encontrado a tu fan más grande!" cuenta riéndose.
Miley fue a una escuela evangélica privada por un año, hasta que fue expulsada por a- robar el vehículo motorizado de su maestra, b- decirle a todo el mundo lo que era el Beso Francés (aunque ella no estaba muy segura de eso). Tenía 11 cuando audicionó para Hannah Montana. Su padre no quería que ella lo hiciera, pero ella eventualmente lo ignoró. "Creo que él no quería que yo sienta algún tipo de rechazo. No quería que fuera herida por la industria."
Sobre su presentación en los VMA's 2013
Miley no supo cuanto problema provocó en los VMA's hasta que vio las noticias. (West St. Paul, Minnesota: "Múltiples incidentes, gestos y poses sexuales, desde agarrarse la entrepierna hasta usar un dedo de esponja como **** y lamer el trasero de un oso". Dallas: "Pornografía por Miley Cyrus. ¡Qué asco! No entraremos en detalles. MUY GRAVE.") "Yo creo, que no es tiempo para googlearme" dijo Miley."Honestamente, esa era nuestra versión de los MTV, podríamos haber ido mas lejos, pero no lo hicimos. Yo creo que de eso es lo que se tratan los VMAs! No son los Grammys o los Oscars. No se supone que tengas que aparecer en un traje al estilo Vanna White. Se supone que es divertido!""Nadie esta hablando del hombre que estaba atrás de mi trasero".
Sobre el Twerk
Ella incluso sabe que es ridículo para ella twerkear. "La gente esta como, 'Miley piensa que es una chica negra pero tiene el trasero más plano del mundo'," ella dice. "Y yo estoy como '¡Peso 48 kilos! ¡Lo sé! Ahora la gente espera que salga y haga twerk con mi lengua afuera todo el tiempo. Probablemente no vuelva a hacer esa mierda de nuevo."
Sobre Justin Bieber
Le preguntamos si ella suele salir con él. "Un poco," respondió. "Pero no realmente. No soy mucho más grande que él, por eso nunca me sentí como si lo estuviera educando. Pero soy su mentora en algún sentido. Porque estuve haciendo esta mierda por mucho tiempo, yo ya pasé por una transición y no creo que él este absolutamente listo todavía.""Él esta intentándolo realmente duro," agregó. "La gente no se lo toma a él seriamente, pero el puede tocar la batería, el realmente puede tocar la guitarra y cantar muy bien. Y no quiero ver como jode todo. Y yo se lo dije. Algo así como 'Tu no quieres convertirte en una broma. Cuando salgas, no empieces la mierda. No salgas sin camiseta' pero la cosa es, " dice mientras se ríe "Creo que los chicos tienen 7 años menos dentro de su cabeza, así que él debe tener como 12".
Sobre sus tattoos
"Para su primera aparición en la revista, Miley quería hacer algo divertido. 'Pensé en ir a jugar a la mancha con lasers y despues ir a jugar al bowling, ¿pero cuantos años tenemos? ¿90?' Naturalmente, su siguiente idea fue hacerse un tatuaje.
'De acuerdo cariño,' dijo Mojo, el tatuador. '¿Estas lista?
'Lista' dice Miley. Mojo enciende la aguja que dispara un fuerte zumbido. 'Odio ver la aguja. Va a doler, ¿verdad? ¿Va a doler?
Mojo: 'Si, va a doler'. "
"La gente se tatúa la mierda más jodida," dice Miley "¿Sabías que Alec Baldwin tiene tatuadas las iniciales de Hannah Montana? No, espera - Stephen Baldwin. El dijo que era mi fan numero uno y yo le dije que mis fans numero uno tienen tatuajes. Entonces, se tatuó HM en su hombro." Ella sacude la cabeza para concluir con: "La gente hace mierda jodida."
---------------------------------------
On her surprising fan
"Did you know Alec Baldwin has Hannah Montana's initials tattooed on him. No, wait — Stephen Baldwin. He said he was my biggest fan, and I told him my biggest fans have tattoos. So he got 'hm' tattooed on his shoulder. People do f*cked-up sh*t."
On her neighbor Steve Carell
"He always gives me the stank-eye because I drive so fast. The other day I was trying to reverse and I almost hit a thousand things, and I was getting nervous because I could see him . . . I'm like, oh, my God, Dan in Real Life is watching me right now!"
On the support from Kanye Westat the VMAs
"He came in [to my dressing room] and goes, 'There are not a lot of artists I believe in more than you right now.' The whole room went quiet. I was like, 'Yo — can you say that again?!'"
"Kanye is the sh*t. I kind of have a good relationship with him now. It's good to have someone you can call and be like, 'Yo, do you think I should wear this?' 'Do you think I should go in the studio with this guy?' 'Do you think this is cool?' That's what homies are supposed to do."
On her relationship with Justin Bieber
"I'm not much older than him, so I never want it to feel like I'm mentoring him. But I do mentor him in a way. Because I've been doing this sh*t for a long time, and I already transitioned, and I don't think he's quite done it yet."
"People don't take him seriously, but he really can play the drums, he really can play the guitar, he really can sing. I just don't want to see him f*ck that up, to where people think he's Vanilla Ice. I tell him that. Like, 'You don't want to become a joke. When you go out, don't start sh*t. Don't come in shirtless.' But the thing is, I think boys are, like, seven years behind. So in his head, he's really, like, 12."
On a text from Pharrell Williams
"This is why I love Pharrell so much: 'You're not a train wreck. You're the train pulling everyone else along.'"
On a text from Lil' Kim
"'My little pumpkin, I just had to tell you you're so f*cking smart. I love you and all the press you are getting. Sad I didn't run into you at the VMAs. Keep killing it, boo.' My little pumpkin!"
On her post-VMAs performance plan
"I think it's an important time not to Google myself."
On twerking with Robin Thicke
"Honestly, that was our MTV version. We could have gone even further, but we didn't. I thought that's what the VMAs were all about! It's not the Grammys or the Oscars. You're not supposed to show up in a gown, Vanna White-style. It's supposed to be fun!"
"No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of 'Miley twerks on Robin Thicke,' but never, 'Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.' They're only talking about the one that bent over. So obviously there's a double standard."
On the end of her twerking days: "People are like, 'Miley thinks she's a black girl, but she's got the flattest ass ever. I'm like, I'm 108 pounds! I know! Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I'll probably never do that sh*t again."
On criticism that her performance was racist: "I would never think about the color of my dancers, like, 'Ooh, that might be controversial.' What do you mean? Times are changing. I think there's a generation or two left, and then it's gonna be a whole new world."
On letting loose for the new album
"I hung out with way too many adults when I was a kid. So now I don't want to hang out with any adults. I've already done all the hard work. Now I can kind of f*ck off."
On her tears in the "Wrecking Ball" video
"That was real. My dog just passed away."
On changing last Summer in Philadelphia
"Have you ever been to South Street in Philly? That's where I got my first chain . . . I was away from people for a minute, and I just started feeling my own vibe. I bought a pair of Doc Martens. I shaved my head. Driving a f*cking Ford Explorer around. Just blending in."
On cleaning house before her new album
"I basically cut off all ties. I got rid of my manager, I got rid of my label. I just started over... I feel like this would have scared them. I just don't think they would've had as much faith in what I'm doing."
On censorship
"America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong. Like, I was watching Breaking Bad the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'f*ck.' And I'm like, really? . . . It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Looking what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep 'molly'? Whatever."
On skydiving for the interview
"We gotta keep doing stuff that's really crazy. I need my ownRolling Stone column where every issue it's just something crazy I do."
On her relationship with her dad
"We have a different relationship now. Now I hear all these crazy stories form him. Like, I never knew my dad smoked weed. I thought my dad was a freak. Now I know he was just stoned."
"I think he just didn't want me to feel any kind of rejection. He didn't want me to be hurt by the industry."
On her mom embarrassing her in front of Kanye
"When she's being embarrassing, she'll call me 'sweet girl.' When we were getting ready for the VMAs, I was about to put on my teddy-bear costume and she's like, 'Sweet girl, do you need to potty before you put your costume on?' I'm like, 'Mom! Kanye is standing right there!'"
