Reflecting on her Disney Channel days on Hannah Montana, she recalled long 12-hour workdays and limited social time. Cyrus now chooses projects more selectively, emphasizing that growing up in the spotlight hindered a natural development, leading to periods of rebellion she considers a necessary part of learning and self-discovery.
