Miley Cyrus revealed that her parents didn't need her to be famous to survive. She told Variety, "My parents didn’t need me to be famous to survive or to be stable".
"What happens to a lot of these kids is their parents want it more than they do, or the kids become responsible for the entire income of the family".
"That was never my job. Every penny I ever made went into my bank account because my parents were good."
"My dad was on set every single day, so there was nothing that could happen that he wouldn’t know about. There was never a time where I was going to be alone in that dressing room."
"He goes out into the parking lot, grabs other dads, brings them into Disney and is like, ‘You should hire this guy! He’s a great actor!’ And my mom was behind him, squeezing his back, saying, ‘Shut up! We need you to get the role so we can all move out here!’".
"My dad always says, ‘When you knock ’em out, you don’t need a judge.’ We knocked ’em out. It was so obvious, after all the other dads, that you can’t fake the kind of connection that we have. The inside jokes, the nicknames, the handshakes, singing the songs together. It was a TKO."
Talking about the transition image from Disney girl to her controversial 'Bangerz', "I boldly and unapologetically presented myself to the world at that time, where I could have gone the other way and played it safe," she told the outlet. "Maybe that would have been successful at the time, and it wouldn’t have been such a cross to bear, but I wouldn’t have had the reward. I don’t know if I would have had the sustainability that my career has now."
