Miley Cyrus doesn't regret her controversial, semi-topless
Vanity Fair spread shot by Annie Leibovitz earlier this year. In fact, she says the pictures inspired her to want to be a photographer.
"Everyone outside of America liked it a little bit more because that's more like the style, but the States are really conservative," Cyrus told the UK's
Daily Record.
After the photos were published in June, the Disney star
said she was "embarrassed" and called the shoot "a mistake." The
Hannah Montana star - who recently celebrated her 16th birthday - was only 15 years old when she appeared in the magazine with only a blanket wrapped around her chest.
But now?
"Guess I just had to deal with that and just realize that I got to work with an amazing photographer," she said. "She was amazing and so talented and her lighting... I would love to work with her again. But I realize I'm just a kid."
Cyrus even said she's considering ditching performing to step behind the camera.
"That's what I want to do with my life. I would love to be a photographer," she said. "I want to come to London to study. I hear there are some great art schools here so I would love to do that."

Justin Gaston.
"I'm surrounded by good-looking guys, the models, the actors, this and that, so it ends up not being about that," Cyrus told the paper. "It ends up being about the personality and the way someone treats you."
The teen queen -- who used to date
Nick Jonas -- added: "Also, being around so many actors, I feel a lot of people treat them really badly. If anyone treats people really sweet, then that's what's really appealing."
