Miley Cyrus knows life’s a climb.
And part of that journey means one day, the Hannah Montana alum may just leave her life in Hollywood for a quieter existence.
It wasn’t until my late 20s and early 30s that I started reevaluating: ‘Is this still what I want?'” Miley said in an interview with CR Fashion Book published Sept. 22. “So far, the answer has been yes, but I’m not afraid of the day it’s no.”
Indeed, the 32-year-old has spent most of her life under a microscope.
“I actually had this moment the other night where I was lying in bed thinking, ‘Wow, I really jumped on a train when I was 11 years old, and I’ve never gotten off,'” Miley reflected. “I made a decision at 11, and I’ve never stopped. I made this deep commitment, and I never questioned it or reexamined it.”
For now, the “Wrecking Ball” singer is still committed. She’s just content with the fact that one day, she may want to lay low.
“I don’t know if that day will come—when this no longer has my heart the way it does now,” Miley explained. “There could be a season where all of this no longer interests me, and that’s okay.”
One thing she is sure of right now? Not wanting to go on tour.
“I do have the physical ability,” she noted during a July 15 Good Morning America segment. “I have the opportunities to tour, I wish I had the desire, but I don’t.”
She added, “I also don’t think that there’s an infrastructure that supports artists.”
And at 32, she now has a better sense of what’s best for her.
“It’s really hard to maintain sobriety when you’re on the road, which is kind of a pillar of stability in my life,” she explained. “It’s really hard to keep mental wellness.”
For more times Miley has gotten real, keep reading.
Would You Rather
Would she rather kiss Dua Lipa or Cardi B? When the juicy question was posed by Heart radio’s Mark Wright, Cyrus reminded fans she’s already shared a smooch with Dua for their song “Prisoners.”
“I’ve kinda already kissed Dua,” Cyrus said. “Maybe Cardi. I like to do things that I’ve never done before, something new. I’d kiss Cardi.”
“Adore You”
She’s a Directioner! When asked whether she’d rather kiss Justin Bieber or Harry Styles, Cyrus chose the “Watermelon Sugar” singer. She confessed, “Harry Styles! He’s looking really good.”
She went on to say they share a lot of similar tastes, adding, “I think sharing a closet, sharing a life together—it just makes sense.”
Miley & Minnie
“I was attracted to girls way before I ever was attracted to guys,” she shared with Call Her Daddy podcast host Alexandra Cooper in August 2020. “When I was like 11 years old, I used to think that like Minnie Mouse was super f–king hot, which is so good I ended up on Disney, so my chances with Minnie went up by like 100.”
“She was super hot to me,” Cyrus continued. “I always thought that the female characters in movies were way hotter than any of the guys. I actually never really understood what these girls were doing with these, like, idiots.”
Sobriety Realities
During an interview with Howard Stern in December 2020, the performer candidly opened up about the detriments for her of not living a sober lifestyle. “It really, really affects my relationships,” she told Stern. “I’m not the best partner; I’m not the best daughter; I’m not the best sister. I can be a little unreliable. So if that’s an alcoholic—if we’re not measuring it by how much we drink but how we perform as a human being—then I would say alcohol is a problem for me because I’m not at my best.”
Lessons of Love
“One thing I’ve learned about marriage from my parents: Nothing and no one stays the same,” Cyrus shared with Cosmopolitan in 2017. “Grow, evolve, change with each other and celebrate your love’s journey!”
FaceTime “Cybersex”
During her Dec. 2018 interview with Howard Stern, Cyrus explained that Hemsworth “got a lot of action for saving the animals” in the devastating California wildfires. And what about getting action when they’re not together? “That’s what FaceTime’s for,” Cyrus told Stern. “Cybersex.”
Birthday Message
To celebrate Hemsworth’s 29th birthday, Cyrus wrote him a love letter, sharing her favorite things about her hubby. “I love taking turns and sharing with you,” Cyrus told her beau. “I love taking long drives, sometimes going nowhere. I love how you’ll sit and listen to me pluck out a new tune on the guitar for hours….I love the way you mumble out loud when you read a new script or book. I love how you learn and grow. I love writing songs about you on the piano. I love how you let ME be ME.”
“You and Me baby…. let’s take this dark place head on and shine [through] with the light of L.O.V.E. Thank you for giving me the happiest days of my life,” Cyrus concluded. “Yours Truly, M.”
“Mine Does”
In response to a meme that read, “No man has all five: -good dick game -empathy -a height above 5’9 -no hoes -common sense,” Cyrus replied, “Mine does! Don’t give up!”
“Hunky Hubby”
When her “hunky hubby” was suffering from kidney stones in Feb. 2019, Cyrus attended the premiere of his movie, Isn’t It Romantic?, in his honor. “So happy to see him shining in this comedy! He is the funniest person I know, and the world now gets to see the Liam I wake up to every day…. luckiest,” the singer wrote to her fans on social media.
In another post, Cyrus posed in front of a poster from the movie, showing Hemsworth playing the saxophone. “Getting sick blows. But so do I,” Cyrus captioned the post. “Get well soon babe. I love you. Play that sax you sexy f–k.”
“Complex” Marriage
“I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married,” Cyrus said in Elle. “But my relationship is unique. And I don’t know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it. I mean, do people really think that I’m at home in a f–king apron cooking dinner?”
“I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women,” the “Wrecking Ball” singer continued. “People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still f–king good, and I know that. I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.”
“Not Allowing Anyone In”
“Guys, I was being a little too, like…hard-core feminist vibes and, just like, I don’t know, not allowing anyone in, but now I am,” the singer said during an Instagram Live video with Cody Simpson, which took place about two months after her split from Hemsworth. “There are good men out there, guys. Don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay. There are good people with dicks out there. You just gotta find them. You gotta find a dick that’s not a dick, you know what I mean?”
She then said, “I always thought I had to be gay because I just thought, like, all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have dicks. I’ve only ever met one…and he’s on this Live.”
