Miley Cyrus: 'I'm an honest performer'

Miley Cyrus has insisted that she is an "honest" performer.

The Last Song star told KIIS FM in Phoenix that she is "super stoked" about the movie's release.

"[I hope] for the first time people will take me seriously," she said. "[If not], I'm ready for the ups and downs. I'm so excited - no-one can take that away from me."

Cyrus added that she tries not to let people's criticism upset her too much.

"I may not be the best singer in the world, but I don't lip-sync," she explained. "I'm honest. I'm honest in acting, too - I'm going to choose 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!'"

Cyrus has previously claimed that her role in The Last Song is her "breakout moment".
