Miley Cyrus VMA Performance With Outrageous Antics Like Twerking, Tongue-Wagging & Weed Smoking Are Just A Part Of A Character She’s Playing

Miley Cyrus VMA Performance was MTV's most watched video for 2013. The "twerking queen" has been making the headlines since then, from her outrageous wardrobe choices to her unbelievable antics.

On her interview with New York Times while she was staying at the Four Seasons in New York, Miley revealed her personal life to the publication. Explaining why she's been acting the way she is.

The 21-year old pop sensation made it clear that the real her is absolutely different from the entertainer Miley that we see, saying:

"I went from people just thinking I was, like, a baby to people thinking I'm this, like, sex freak that really just pops molly and does lines all day. It's like, 'Has anyone ever heard of rock 'n' roll?'" she said. "There's a sex scene in pretty much every single movie, and they go, 'Well, that's a character.' Well, that's a character. I don't really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke you know?

Last night, I was talking about some Madonna performances, and I said, "At some point, everything becomes irrelevant." Like, no one even thinks about when she did "Like a Virgin" at the V.M.A.s. That just becomes a standard, where it's just like, "Oh, that's her thing." So, I feel like now that I did the V.M.A.s, that just kind of became a standard for me, and then anytime I do anything else, they're like, "Miley kept it tame tonight."

When asked about how she sees her VMA performance with Robin Thicke, Miley tried defending herself from the issues of racism and sexism.

"But I didn't know that I was going to be the only one that was really going to push it like that. It's actually really funny how many people could watch my performance, and they think it was, like, sexist and degrading to women, and somehow people found that it was racist, which I couldn't even wrap my mind around. Because I'm like: "How do I win? If I have white dancers, then I'm racist. If I have black girl dancers, then I'm racist." We know we're not racist, and I know I'm not putting down women. People got a rise out of me saying that I was a feminist, but I am. I'm telling women be whoever you want to be."

Miley also claimed that most of the artists are simply "not being themselves" like she was not being herself when she was still in contract with Disney, that's why she doesn't have many celebrity affiliations.

 "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."

Miley believes that all the media attention that she's getting are making artists afraid of being associated with her.

 "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."

The "Wrecking Ball" singer and MTV's artist of the year strongly believes that her situation right now is seemingly unfit to play as a role model to teenagers, when asked about Vogue pulling out from making her cover the magazine following her infamous VMA performance.

"I can't say too much. But it was where I was kind of going to have to do this trade-off, and I wasn't willing to. Right now, me doing any kind of cover for anything that's like, a Seventeen or Teen Vogue or whatever, the way that I talk isn't the way that people that are 17 really understand. There was a thing that Kurt Cobain said, something like, "There's a special place in hell for people that glamorize drugs," and I never want to be that person that's, like, talking to 16- and 17-year-olds and being like, "Smoke weed." I've got a little sister. I don't want her to smoke weed, and it's not because I think weed is bad, but - -

Right, she'll make the choice. Or even, like, my language. I don't know how to not talk the way I talk. I would rather have everything I do be 100 percent honest. I just want to be who I am."
