Miley Cyrus: 'I'm very confident being naked'

'Wrecking Ball' superstar Miley Cyrus has opened up about her recent state of undress and explained that she feels very confident without clothes so finds it empowering to strip off so publicly

The sensation told Britain's Daily Mail that her latest video shows her naked and she felt at home on the set because it helped portray emotion and wasn't just being naked for the sake of it: "I’m very confident being naked. I feel that stripping off is a way of expressing purity of emotion."

Cyrus added that she doesn't want to conform to the typical beauty stereotypes and would rather push boundaries:

"I’m trying to break out of that long hair, big boobs stereotype that women feel they have to conform to. I mean, we’re not living in the freakin’ 1950s – short hair is OK. Have people really got so little imagination? Every morning I look in the mirror and I feel like a blank canvas and I choose who I want to be. In a normal job you have to live by someone else’s rules, but I’m in a job where my work is play and I don’t have to pretend to be something I’m not."

She also stressed that as an artist, she doesn't think everything through and plan every tiny detail that goes into everything creative she does so there will be shocking moments as her behaviour is natural: "Everything I’ve ever done was how I felt at that exact moment."

"You have to have confidence as an entertainer and I believe – I know – that no one can be a better version of me than me. Sure, I could put on a gown and have some beauty pictures taken of me, but where’s the honesty in that? In my video for “Wrecking Ball” I am naked and vulnerable and crying because it’s a song about how it feels when everything around you has been destroyed."
