Miley Cyrus: On Top Of the World

Hannah Montana mania continues to take the nation by storm, and Miley Cyrus is making the most of her position as the most idolized teen in the world.

While on tour, Miley enjoyed some of the perks of her stardom - such as getting to participate in the Dolphin Trainer for a Day Program at the Siegfried and Roy Secret Garden while she was going through Las Vegas.

More recently, Miley’s new movie hit theaters - instantaneously taking over the top spot in the box office. Of her success, movie and everything else, the Disney star recently spoke to press with the conversation going as follows:

Q: Why do you think the Hannah Montana craze exploded last year?

MILEY: The kids can relate—like once again with the 3-D movie, it will be even better. They don’t even know what they have coming when they get to see it. Just that Hannah Montana and the show are so relatable that not only the celebrity part of it, but just getting to see the normal girl underneath it all, is really incredible.

Q: Do you think you’ve been able to create your own identity outside of your famous character?

MILEY: This tour was a really good way of doing that. Just kind of breaking out and having my music and get to have not only doing press stuff all the time and being like, “Miley Miley Miley.” You get to go out in front of 20,000 people every night and show who you really are. I think that’s one of the best parts.

Q: Your tour was one of the highest-grossing tours, right up there with the Police and Justin Timberlake. What do you think about that?

MILEY: Sometimes, “It’s like wow, I really have to be good.” Especially when you hear what people are doing for tickets. It’s like this is their one chance to see the show and it’s the one night I’m going to be here so it has to be perfect.

Q: One little girl’s mother even had her write a false story claiming her dad was killed in the Iraq war to win tickets to the concert. What was your reaction to that?

MILEY: There is so much that has been going on just with everyone. There has been some really bad things happen, there’s been some really amazing things happen. Like I remember I was watching CNN today and there was this little girl that couldn’t afford to have her surgery. She took her tickets and put a bid for them and now can have her surgery. There has been amazing stories that have been going on with everyone so it’s really incredible.

Q: Do the problems of other young stars, like Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy, put more pressure on you to set a better example for kids?

MILEY: It does, but I mean those persons don’t have anything to do with me either. So it’s like you just have your own heart and you have your own soul to kind of help you through life.

Q: Do you ever wish that you could just be a regular 15-year-old instead of a teen phenom?

MILEY: I do sometimes, but then again it definitely is fun and it’s been really nice because having my uncle as like my bodyguard and my mom with me and my dad, working with him. My family wants the best for me so they try to find a way so that I can still go out and hang with my friends and also have a normal life of my own.
