Miley Cyrus dished about her feminist views and what she strives to achieve in her career as she believes she is paving the way for a new generation of women, according to a New York Times.
Cyrus commented on how closely she follows her fellow Disney stars and how she wants other child actors to become what they want to be. Check out the best snippets of Miley Cyrus' interview with the Times.
Cyrus on how her fellow Disney stars, and why being seen with her is considered racy:
"I watch everyone's music videos, to the point where I'm O.C.D., looking at every single thing they're wearing and what they're doing. Before, because I didn't have my own personal self yet, it was hard for me to watch that kind of stuff. I was so jealous of what everyone else got to do, because I didn't get to truly be myself yet. But now I realize how much they're not being themselves either. You don't have to be signed to Disney Channel to be put in a box, or to be rated PG. I'm with artists sometimes, and I'll take a picture of them or whatever. They make me delete it."
The "Wrecking Ball" singer on how "insane" peoples fear of being associated with her gets:
"Yeah, it's insane. I'll get someone to, like, flash me, and they'll be, like, 'You have to delete it!' I had to do that when I was 14 or 15, but even then I didn't care. Like, if someone was videoing me ripping a bong, I didn't care, so it's just funny to me. I'm like: 'Dude, you're 30. Like, why can't someone see a picture of your [breasts]?'
"I don't have a bunch of celeb friends, because I feel like some of them are a little scared of the association. This is terrible. I was backstage with [the rising pop star] Ariana Grande. I'm like, 'Walk out with me right now and get this picture, and this will be the best thing that happens to you, because just you associating with me makes you a little less sweet.'"
How Cyrus feels about the Joe Jonas' pot smoking confession:
"If you want to smoke weed, you're going to smoke weed. There's nothing that two little girls are going to get you to do that you don't want to do. I thought maybe he was saying that like it was going to make him look badass...We were so young that it's actually like, 'How did you get peer pressured by me?'"
