Miley Cyrus is considering retiring her tongue. The 20-year-old singer has been photographed obscenely sticking her tongue out but she recently confessed to the French television program "Le Grand Journal" that she thinks it's time for her to put her tongue back in her mouth, Hollyscoop reports .
"It's the new Miley tongue," she said. "I think people always take pictures of themselves, and me doing it is just being myself, so it's kind of like my style now... [But] that's getting a little old. I'm going to have to retire it!"
"For as long as it is," she continued. "You would think that I could touch my nose. I mean I've tried it, I can't I'm so close. I wish I had more control of it, I can't do any tricks, no four leaf clover, nothing!"
The former Disney star recently spoke out for the first time about her latest music video "Wrecking Ball." She released the video on Monday and immediately drew a ton of backlash because of it. In the controversial video Cyrus is seen riding a giant wrecking ball completely naked, licking a sledgehammer and singing about heartbreak.
Most of her fans were on the fence about the video. Some people felt like it was artistic and beautifully done while others labeled it as trashy. Cyrus told Elvis Durran on his morning radio show that she wished people would look past her stripping for the camera and focus on what the video really stands for - exposing a rare and vulnerable side of herself, US Weekly reports.
"I think the video is much more. If people get past the point I make, and you actually look at me, you can tell I look more broken than even the song sounds," she told Elvis Duran during the Sept. 11 broadcast of his radio show. "The song is a pop balled that everyone can relate to; everyone has felt that feeling at some point."
"If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination and see what the video really means, it is so vulnerable," she continued. "Actually, if you look at my eyes I look more sad than actually my voice sounds on the record."
She revealed that shooting the video - which set a record with 19.3 million views on VEVO in just 24 hours - was a lot harder for her to do than recording the song. It was rumored the song has something to do with her troubled relationship with Liam Hemsworth.
A source told Hollywood Life that the song is very personal to Cyrus and when director Terry Richardson wanted her to cry he told her to think about losing the actor.
"It was very intense and wasn't an act," the source said. "Even though she was happy and in a good mood, it only took like two seconds for her to start crying."
Cyrus admitted that she was nervous to release the single not because of the controversial video but because she was still focused on "We Can't Stop" and all the chatter that single created. Regardless of the backlash she is receiving about the video Cyrus has no plans on slowing down or letting the comments get to her.
"Anything I do becomes such a big deal," she said. "I'm just having fun. Whatever people label it is as, it doesn't really matter. I always want to switch it up."
