Miley and Mutt When asked in the May 2009 issue of Glamour magazine about her older boyfriend, Miley gushed: "I don’t feel like I’m doing anything wrong, and I’m ready for people to accept it. My fans already accept it—they just want me to be happy. And I haven’t been that happy in a few years…working so hard, moving to L.A. from Nashville, going through a bad breakup [with Nick Jonas]. I’m finally happy again, and I think that is reflected in my music and my work. So honestly, I don’t feel like there’s anything to hide. And I love him so much I don’t really care."

Guitar Hero Mile... When asked by the mag if she thought she was growing up to fast, Cyrus responded, "At times I feel I’m very mature for my age, but other times I feel very immature. I still like to sleep with my parents sometimes. I’ll go into their bedroom and snuggle with my mom, because I’ve been working all day and haven’t seen her. Or my dad will give me a piggyback ride. I’m not around other people my age that much, so I don’t know how 16-year-olds are supposed to act! I just do what feels right."
