Miley Cyrus is in Australia these days. She opened up about her public image and called herself a "walking joke." Cyrus was asked about her "chill" demeanour whereas some of her counterparts would not seem so. She said that she was no stranger to "fame and money" as she had grown up in that world. She said that she knew what could be achieved. Even though what "they give you" is not enough, according to Cyrus, people believe that "it's kind of everything." E! Online reported that Cyrus' decision to change her outlook on life was responsible for a positive transformation in her life and career.

Cyrus continued to talk about her approach on life on a morning show called "Sunrise." She said that she had decided around a year back that the goal in her entire life was to "be happy all the time." She also revealed how much it had helped her to stay grounded when she decided to be "true to herself." "It doesn't really bother me when people tell me I'm crazy, because I am...If I wasn't here [performing] I would think that I would like to do some sort of stand-up comedy," the modern-day pop diva said, "Look at me, I am a walking joke." She also explained about her unusual style in her hair and dresses. Cyrus made fun of herself as she confessed that she was not a person to take things very seriously. "I'm too honest, I'm too myself," she said. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Cyrus wore a green boxer's robe with leopard print leggings as she was accompanied by the weather man of the morning show.

Cyrus earlier performed at the Sydney Opera House, one of the more iconic venues in the world for a performing artist. She performed on several of her hits including "Wrecking Ball" and other popular songs from the "Bangerz" album. There were several people at her concert, who dressed themselves according to Cyrus' style of clothing. Interestingly, there were more men than women who dressed themselves up in such manner. There were several in high school uniforms as well.
