Miley Cyrus spoke to Teen Hollywood about Twitter, the internet & her new record.
How is life post-Twitter versus before? I'm a lot less on my phone. I'm a little bit more social. I have a lot more real friends than friends who are on the internet that I'm talking to which is not cool, not safe, not fun, and most likely not real. I just think everything is better when you're not so wrapped up in that.
I think it's kinda lame. I go hang out with my friends and they're so busy taking pictures of what they're doing to put on Facebook that they're not really enjoying what they're doing. You're going to look back and have ten million pictures but you're not in one of them because you weren't having fun. You were too busy clicking away. So, I think just enjoy the moment you're in and stop telling people about it. Just enjoy it for yourself.
You sound like somebody's mom right now. '(laughs) Yes, I do. I'm telling kids, 'don't be on the internet. It's dangerous. it's not fun. It ruins your life and you should just be outside playing sports or something and not sitting in front of any type of screen (Liam is laughing a lot now).'
On her music: Right now I'm just finishing up my record. My record will be out towards the end of the summer and I'm really excited about that because I feel like after doing this film, it was kind of a test for me to decide what I really wanted to do. I love making movies and that's what I want to pursue.
It's not that I don't love music. I love music. If every film could have a part (for me) with music I would (do it). But I feel like I need to get away from that for a little while and it's another thing that is kind of my security blanket and I don't always want to fall back on that.
I feel that the music industry is so contrived and so political right now, I people stepped away and said 'we're not gonna work like this. It's more about our art than the politics, I feel like it would go back to be respected again. Right now, I feel like it's lost a lot of respect and I'd rather be in an industry where I feel like I can be different and do things that really inspire me.
