LONDON, U.K. -- Miley Cyrus has reevaluated her Vanity Fair photo controversy of April 2008, and decided it wasn't that bad after all.
"Everyone outside of America liked it a little bit more because that's more like the style, but the States are really conservative," Miley told Scotland's Daily Record about the Annie Leibovitz shoot, the results of which she originally said made her feel "embarrased." "[I] guess I just had to deal with that and just realize that I got to work with an amazing photographer."
Perhaps one reason for Miley's change of heart has to do with her goal in life. The teen sensation told the newspaper she wants to spend some time behind the lens in the future.
"That's what I want to do with my life," the pop star continued, referencing Leibovitz's chosen profession. "I would love to be a photographer. She was amazing and so talented and her lighting... I would love to work with her again. But I realize I'm just a kid."
And like other young people, Miley's parents have rules about her spending. Though she is now old enough to drive, and she rakes in millions each year, her parents told her not to purchase the luxury vehicle she had been dreaming of.
"Certainly not because then I would be broke," Miley said. "I wouldn't have anything left to support my family because that's what I want to do. When I get older, and maybe my parents want to settle down, I want to be able to take care of them."
For now though, it's Billy Ray and his wife Leticia who take care of Miley.
And they may be doing so for a while. Miley has no plans to move out of the family home - where she has her own wing - at present.
"Maybe when I am 20," she said. "When my mom stops cooking for me. As soon as my mom stops making me food then I'm out. My sister lived at home until she went to college at 18 and she says, 'Oh, I wish I'd stayed at home a little longer.' My brother's 19 and he's still at home so I think I want to stay until 20 or 21."
OMG YAHOO
Miley's not really sorry about Vanity Fair. We're just uptight.

OMG YAHOO
she is right, the states are very conservative and idg why it's just ridiculous
but what awful pictures. ugh. /:
that one was the creepy pic.
second time i've defended somebody i truly cannot stand in less than five minutes, i don't know who i am anymore
not that i'm complaining.
open the floodgates
what the fuck? when your PARENTS want to settle down?
as a photography major I wanna kick every kid who's like that
they think they've got the skills because they can take bad myspace photos with ~angles in ~black&white~
oh and your icon is hottttt.
why does every little kid under 10 wanna be a firefighter, cop, astronaut nurse or veterinarian?
it just seems cool at that age and kids/ teens have a certain idea about jobs in their head that may not reflect reality.. but whatever. it's normal
because they think it will be easy.
when they find out it's not they resort to taking whory pics of them and their friends 'cause it's the best they can do.
the end
Only, I'm not ignorant about it like most girls idk. :/
I've taken classes, I'm a class and I've invested money in decent cameras/lenses.
I just don't know if I want it to be my career?
It's so much fun as a hobby. I do agree that some girls' ideas of ~photography are pretty dumb, though. But some are pretty srs bsns about it.
k, done making this about myself.
it makes me sad, the popular flickr people. some are so bad and i have seen so much better.
the pictures are no way in hell able to be published, but I like them and keep them on my flickr as a way to show them off I guess is what I'm trying to say?
I don't know. I ahve a horrible headcold and just lost my train of thought.
I think the point is that its a hobby for a lot of people and a job for the best
"i took this black-and-white photo of my scuffed-up chuck taylors with my digital camera. look how ~artistic~ it is"
I don't understand parents who try to live off the success of their children. This could get interesting when Miley inevitably rebels.
Anyway, they have laws in place now for child actors/singers to make sure their parents don't squander all their earnings like the did in the past.
Who cares about the fact she was topless...she looked HORRIBLE. THAT was the offensive part. But really, I still ask, why did a 15-year-old need to be topless anyway...
