Miley Cyrus Billboard Interview May 2017
Miley Cyrus Is Thankful For Her Breakup With Liam Hemsworth: "We Had to Refall in Love"
![On her desire to create change in the world: "I have to ask myself, 'How am I going to create real change?' And not just f*cking preach to the choir anymore. This record is a reflection of the fact that yes, I don't give a f*ck, but right now is not a time to not give a f*ck about people. I'm giving the world a hug and saying, 'Hey, look. We're good — I love you.' And I hope you can say you love me back."
On using her voice to bring awareness to issues: "I started Happy Hippie because I never thought we would see this day where you have the Laverne Coxes of the world get not only trans roles, but female roles. And I realized the voice I had. That's why I brought Jesse [Helt, a homeless man, to the 2014 VMAs], because it felt wrong for me to go and get an award, celebrating me getting naked and riding a f*cking wrecking ball around for a day. I mean, what would I have said? 'Thanks, uh... thanks to ['Wrecking Ball' video director] Terry Richardson?' That would have been so weird."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/ps-image-unavailable.png "On her desire to create change in the world: \"I have to ask myself, 'How am I going to create real change?'
