Miley Cyrus On The Vanity Fair Photo: It 'Still Hurts When I Think About It'

Access Hollywood - June 27, 2008 12:32 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Miley Cyrus has spoken out about her infamous Vanity Fair photo shoot.

"I was embarrassed but also it's like, every career thing that I do can't be perfect," Miley told Billboard. "Sometimes my decisions are wrong."

Cyrus made headlines in late April when Annie Leibovitz photographs of the 15-year-old "Hannah Montana" star emerged, showing the teenager covered by only a blanket.

The photographs attracted the attention of the public and stars including Madonna who leapt to the singer's defense suggesting people should "leave her alone."

As for Miley's take, she thinks the photos and the controversy which surrounded them made the her appear more human to her fans.

"I think that just makes me even more relatable. I don't think people will look at me any differently because they're like, 'You know what, I'm going to do stupid stuff too, and I'm going to make mistakes, and that's fine,'" Miley said. "It still hurts when I think about it - but you know what, it doesn't mean that you can't move on."

And Cyrus is doing just that. Her sophomore album, "Breakout," is due July 22 on Hollywood Records. For starters, it finds the "Hannah Montana" star maturing musically.

"It's grown-up," she told the music weekly. "I wrote all the songs except two. My last one, 'Meet Miley Cyrus,' was more just meeting me, finding out who I am, and here it's more getting in depth of what's been going on in my life in the past year."

Cyrus was quick to cast herself as more than just a singing, dancing, acting wunderkind.

"No matter how long what I'm doing here lasts, I want to be a songwriter for the rest of my life," she said. "I love it and it's my escape. I just hope this record showcases that - more than anything - I'm a writer."

    Honestly, I dislike Miley and never have really liked the girl ever since the fact that she didn't have to work for her career, her father basically handed it to her on a silver platter. However, I must confess that this situation really isn't as bad as its made out to be, she is a young girl who made a slight career mistake, shes only human take a step back and look at all the mis
