Miley Cyrus revealedthat being her own boss without listening to "70-year-old" Jewish executives is the secret to her chart-topping success.
The audacious 20-year-old singer is known for her brazen acts and lewd comments on just about anything. Riding on top of the world and feeling all mighty, Cyrus told interviewers that "calling the shots" is the only way to go to keep her success constant.
In an interview with HungerTV, Cyrus that everything she does in regards to her music career is decided by her and her alone. While some singers are fine with their managers or record executives dictating the direction of their Careers, Miley is hell bent on following her own rules.
"It can't be like this 70-year-old Jewish man that doesn't leave his desk all day, telling me what the clubs want to hear. I've got to be the one doing it because they're just not in on what 20-year-olds are doing," said Cyrus in the interview as reported by NY Daily News.
"With magazines, with movies, it's always weird when things are targeted for young people, yet they're driven by people that are like 40 years too old," added the singer.
The singer added that it was a challenge at first, especially while planning the shoot of her "Wrecking Ball" music video.
"At first on paper that video sounded insane, no one understood it, and I'm just like, 'Let me film it and then if it doesn't work out, you never have to trust me again, but if it works out, you have to let me drive this ship," revealed the ex-Disney star in the same interview.
Miley's video, directed by risqué photographer Terry Richardson, turned out to break overnight records with VEVO views on YouTube, which led to topping the singles charts all over the world. It featured the singer wearing nothing but Doc Marten's boots on top of a wrecking ball.
The video later became a controversy as it sparked a feud between Miley and Irish songstress, Sinead O'Connor after Cyrus told Rolling Stone that the aesthetic of the "Wrecking Ball" video is a modern version of "Nothing Compares 2 U." O'Connor released multiple open letters advising Cyrus to prevent her team from "prostituting her."
However, Miley believes she has a solid grasp on where her career is going. It seems she has a clear vision of what she wants to do despite how people think.
"It isn't about thinking just about this two-minute performance on the VMAs or this music video. I want people to want to hear my records and the more that they're wondering 'what the hell is she doing?' the more they're going to want to listen to my record."
