Pop star Miley Cyrus: I'm a logical wild card

Miley Cyrus says she's reliably unpredictable

Miley Cyrus likes to be "reliably unpredictable".

The 33-year-old pop star admits that she's not "super into astrology" - but Miley has described herself as a "logical wild card".

Speaking to Variety, the chart-topping singer - who will celebrate her next birthday in November - explained: "I’m a Sagittarius. My sisters are Capricorns. I love Scorpios, Sagittariuses and Capricorns, that whole trifecta.

"I’m not super into astrology, but I know, by the book, what that means. I’m kind of a logical wild card, if that makes sense.

"I like to do something bold but also do my own math about it. I want to know what I want before I make a choice. But anything I say could be out the window tomorrow.

"I like to be reliably unpredictable."

Miley emerged as a teen idol with her portrayal of Miley Stewart in the Disney series Hannah Montana between 2006 and 2011. And the pop star has observed that "Hannah was like Mickey Mouse in her own way".

Asked what advice she'd give to her on-screen character, Miley explained: "I mean, Hannah feels like she’s got it all figured out.

"I would tell her to definitely ditch the Season 1 wig and tell Disney that, you know, you get what you pay for! And then the other thing is, because I was her, I didn’t realise how important and how impactful she actually was. Hannah was like Mickey Mouse in her own way — she made people feel like they got this little piece of magic.

"I would want Hannah to ground into the Miley Stewart and know that that magic is from deep within. It’s not about the wig and the boots and the music. It’s about who you are underneath all that."

Earlier this year, Miley revealed that she willed the Hannah Montana anniversary special "into existence".

The singer started discussing the prospect of making a 20th anniversary special before being approached about the idea.

She told Variety: "I learned this terrible habit — but I actually think it was good advice — from Dolly [Parton]. She told me that if you want something to happen, promote it before it exists. Then no one can say no. So I just started promoting a ‘Hannah Montana’ 20th-anniversary special that literally did not exist."
