Miley Cyrus gave a new interview to promote The Last Song, and she’s still talking about how “deep” her relationship is with boyfriend and costar Liam Hemsworth. Previously, Miley said that “I think we’re both deeper than normal people—what they think and how they feel. He’s very grateful for what he has, but he doesn’t let it go to his head. I’m like that too.” Spoken like a 17-year-old in love, right? Well, we’ve got more of it now, although I’m finding this interview so much more interesting than that stupid Teen Vogue one. Here are the excerpts pulled by OK Magazine:

Now the cat is out of the bag about Miley Cyrus‘ romance with The Last Song co-star Liam Hemsworth, the teen star can’t stop talking about their “deep connection”.

She rang into the Johnjay and Rich show on KIIS FM in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday morning and talked about going public with her relationship [via Radar Online].

“Everyone knew we were dating,” she said. “I mean, who flies to Australia just to visit with a ‘friend’?”

Although she denies that the Aussie hunk is living with her, she described their bond as a “deep connection” that is “deeper” than most people.

So what does she love about him? He has his own career and isn’t using her for fame. “I feel like I’ve been with people before, both in the public eye and out of the public eye, that may need something from me,” Miley said.

“He’s not like that. He was already successful, he was already cast in the movie, he didn’t need me for that. He doesn’t need me to make him famous. He’s got his career and his goals and that’s awesome.”

Mentioning her Oscars flub, Miley said that she hadn’t been nervous before going on stage but co-presenter Amanda Seyfried, “got me freaked out” and she said that also just before stepping on stage Oscar producer, Adam Shankman, unnerved her by telling her, “Add personality to it!”

Miley said that she’s “super stoked” about The Last Song and that she hopes “for the first time people will take me seriously” but if they don’t she’s “ready for the ups and downs, I’m so excited, no-one can take that away from me.”

She added: “I may not be the best singer in the world, but I don’t lip synch, I’m honest. I’m honest in acting too – I’m going to chose roles I like. I’m doing what I like, people that are dogging me probably aren’t which is why they’re down on me., I want to tell them ‘go get a hobby!’”

It’s not that I find Miley’s sentiments so profound in general, but I do find them profound because they’re coming out of Miley, The Girl Sold To Disney. You know what I’m saying? Her father pretty much encouraged Disney (and many other entities) to build a billion-dollar corporation around his young daughter, and Billy Ray and Disney (and many others) have been profiting from her for years. Miley probably can’t remember a time when she wasn’t the breadwinner of her family, when she had a relationship that wasn’t based on a combination of money-seeking and fame-seeking behavior, both corporate and familial. Miley says: “I feel like I’ve been with people before, both in the public eye and out of the public eye, that may need something from me. He’s not like that. He was already successful… He doesn’t need me to make him famous. He’s got his career and his goals and that’s awesome.” I think it’s kind of incredible that Miley is this cognizant of her own fame, her own family, the position she’s been put in by her Disney and the corporation that surrounds her. And she must love that she’s got someone in her life that isn’t asking for anything but her. Well done, Miley.
