Miley Cyrus says she could quit show business at any moment, open to rethinking fame in CR Fashion Book interview

Miley Cyrus says she could quit show business at any moment, telling Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book that she is not afraid to walk away from the entertainment world. The magazine's interview features the 32-year-old singer topless with wet hair, a look she described as part of a broader conversation about change and reinvention.

Speaking with Anderson, Cyrus said she is not wedded to the industry and is open to stepping away one day. "I'm always redesigning, reimagining, re-inspiring," she said, recounting a moment when she lay in bed and thought, "Wow, I really jumped on a train when I was 11 years old, and I've never gotten off." She added, "I made a decision at 11, and I've never stopped. I made this deep commitment, and I never questioned it or reexamined it."

It wasn’t until her late 20s and early 30s that she started reevaluating: "Is this still what I want?" But for now, the answer has been yes, she said, while stressing she isn’t afraid of the day it isn’t. "So far, the answer has been yes, but I’m not afraid of the day it’s no. I don’t know if that day will come — when this no longer has my heart the way it does now."

Fans on X flooded the post with messages urging her to keep singing, including remarks like, "Please tell me you want to sing forever, we need you Miley!" and "You are giving me stress vibez babe, never leave us."

Cyrus also spoke about sobriety, saying she has been sober for five years. She described what has helped her stay away from alcohol. "Having that has been the medicine that's kept me grounded in my sober lifestyle. It's part of a practice, the way yoga might be: getting out into nature, doing something with my hands, and having a creative outlet that isn't about fame or success."

Beyond fame, the pop star described a new appreciation for simple, grounding activities. "Gardening is something you do for yourself. When we've shared so much of ourselves, having those little precious times with something simple - like putting a seed in the ground and nurturing it - it becomes a very personal process," Cyrus told the Baywatch actress. She noted that gardening helped her stay grounded even as she prepared for tours, mentioning a hillside project where seeds were planted during downtime and the results surprised her.

The artist also credited two people who helped make the garden a reality. "I’d love to take full credit, but actually two people helped—one being Vijat Mohindra, who’s just the cutest little gay angel. He threw these seeds, and I swear it never would’ve happened without him. When I came back, there were 10,000 daisies. I was like, 'We didn’t even throw these out—why do I have 40 species of roses in my backyard?'" Cyrus recalled, describing how a moment of home life turned into a symbol of renewal. "So all this time being home, grounded, and surrounded by beauty in a different way—it’s just amazing."

As she reflects on her life in the spotlight, Cyrus says the ongoing practice of grounding herself through nature, craft and sobriety remains central. While she recognizes the pull of fame, she emphasizes that her heart for what she does now—and the possibility that it could change—will guide her decisions in the future.
