The former Disney Channel actress, now 18, tells Asia's Prestige magazine that while she isn't perfect, she's not a reckless wild child, either.
"People have very mixed opinions on me," Cyrus says. "I'm a great model, or I'm completely inappropriate for anyone under 13 and I'm very controversial. I don't know how I became this."
Perhaps it has something to do with her string of public missteps, beginning with a suggestive photo spread in Vanity Fair in 2008 and ending with a salvia scandal in late 2010.
"I'm not some crazy lady who's gone off the deep end, because I definitely haven't," Cyrus explains. "Every 18-year-old explores sexuality and experiments and tries things. For me there's no reason to change that."
In the article, Cyrus also recalls reading a magazine article that labeled her a "Good Girl Gone Bad," a title she doesn't feel she deserves.
"I was like, 'What the hell, man?' I stay in the house pretty much every day. I don't go out," she tells Prestige. "I've had the same boyfriend [Liam Hemsworth] for two years."[usmagazine.com]
