Actress/singer Miley Cyrus has a new darker, sexier and edgier image on the cover of the latest issue of Billboard Magazine. The 17 year-old is very proud of her work, which she claims is not like fast-food pop but pop with a deeper meaning. Yeah! We love you, Miley!

“With anything — the clothes I wear or the way I want to look — I don’t plan it,” Miley said. “Even with the video [for "Can't Be Tamed"] I had the treatment, but beyond that, it was whatever comes. We didn’t have all the choreography set in stone because I didn’t want it to end up looking fake and polished. Everything in life has to come naturally or I feel like it’s just been done.”

“I listen to zero pop music, which is really weird for someone who makes pop music,” she said. “My 13-year-old self would have beaten up my 17-year-old self because she would be like, ‘You’re a sellout!’ But that’s not what it is. It’s not dance music that’s just about, ‘Ooh, I’m in the club and everyone’s looking at me.’ It means something. I’m not just sitting here trying to sell glitz and glamour…because no one lives that life. A lot of [pop] songs are super shallow, but this music isn’t.”

Surprisingly, Miley also confessed she is not a fan of “Glee” or musicals. That is definitely not Miley’s thing. And we were actually impressed Miley is able to express her likes and dislikes so easily even when the world does not agree with her. This girl knows exactly who she is and what she wants.

Actress/singer Miley Cyrus covers the latest issues of Billboard Magazine (April 2009) and talks about her first autobiography, “Miles To Go“, the end of Hannah Montana and how important it is spending time with her friends.

Hannah Montana: The Movie comes out April 10. Here are some highlights from Miley Cyrus Billboard interview:

On her new book, “Miles To Go”: “It’s just an honor for people to be able to relate to me and my music—and not so much the character anymore. I can’t be Hannah Montana forever. I have to have something after this. I can’t do this when I’m 30.”

On the end of her TV series, Hannah Montana: “This movie was never meant to be the end of Hannah Montana. The thing is, a lot of people put where the show’s future lays in my hands—and it’s not up to me. It’s up to Disney and whether they want more episodes, and we hope that they do.”

On spending time with her best friends: “This is, like, the first time I’ve seen all my friends in seven months. It’s hard, man. With all the stuff that goes on with this business, I only want to do something if I absolutely love it.”
