The Truth About Miley: Seventeen Interview

Do you feel pressure to be as perfect as Hannah Montana? 'Sometimes it's hard, especially when it comes to my body. I have big boobs and curves, so I hear things like, 'Watch your body, you need to wear this and that.' You can't be voluptuous because that's not the image. So I do struggle, I feel like everyone's always looking at me.

What about Nick Jonas? 'We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, 'I think you're beautiful and I really like you.'

Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years, he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn't fun.'

What would you argue about? 'Like, he would get in late, or I would get in late, and I'd be really cranky. Or I'd want to get breakfast, but he would have to do a radio show. And it was like, When am I going to get some time with my boyfriend? But when were actually together, it was great.'

How did you break up? 'We were about to go on stage. I was like, 'Is this just too much for us right now? Is this something that is really inconvenient at this time in your life?' And he was like, 'You know, this is a really hard time for me.' And I was like, 'This is hard for me too, you know, I just thing we need a little break' We were both crying on the last day we were together.'

What do you think things didn't work out? 'I feel like our relationship was a little too cliche for me. It's Brad and Angelina, Miley and Nick Jonas. I want to be part of something that's real. He's really fun, but he's very serious and very into his work, and I'm not like that. I'm like, how can I be serious with you if my job is to be funny all of the time?


My heart was broken after that, but I healed, and now I see that I don't want a boyfriend for a while because he and I really worked so hard at making something work, and it just didn't.

You wear a promise ring, do boyfriends need to share your beliefs? 'Well, I'm very much about "No sex before marriage.'' When I was 12 years old, I said to my mom, "I want to follow what the bible says. Would you buy me this ring? I want to wear it and promise it."


She got it for me, right then and there. It was awesome. And I've worn it ever since. I think it's easier when the guy believes the same thing as you do, so you're not always fighting a battle.'

If a guy wants to date you, do you tell him right away about the promise? 'I just say it. I'm like "Oh, by the way, I'm not having sex with you. I know this dress looks good on me, but it's staying on!" Mandy once gave me a present; it was a pair of boy shorts/undies that said "Stop! Don't touch" with a stop sign. They're so funny!'

Do you talk to your parents about sex? 'We're very close, so we can talk about anything. I have nothing to hide, and my mom is really chill. But if I were having sex, she would immediately be like, "Tell me. Let's get you on the pill or something." And my dad would be like "What are you thinking?!


But lets get you some help." Of course, they'de be upset and disappointed, but they want what's best for me. They can't just sit there and scold you. Is that going to make it better? You just have to let people help you.'

i think some of the things she said are really great and im glad she believes in all of that. i do to. and i back her up, but i thinkk she made the whole nickk thingg to favor a bit more to her side. she kinda stated all that it was her choice and he was the reason. im sure she didnt mean it like that but everyone has there side and they normally like to spice it up to sound better for themm and i thinkk she did that a bit.
