Miley Cyrus is a non-racist feminist who is not a sex freak and doesn't sit around doing drugs all day.
So the controversial singer said in a wide-ranging interview wit The New York Times this week.
Among the many topics touched on by Miley, the young artist took it to Joe Jonas, who told a magazine this month that Cyrus and Demi Lovato pressured him to smoke weed for the first time.
"If you want to smoke weed, you're going to smoke weed," Miley said in response. "There's nothing that two little girls are going to get you to do that you don't want to do. I thought maybe he was saying that like it was going to make him look badass."
From there, Cyrus defended her overall reputation in 2013, shooting down talk that she's a perpetual ecstasy-popper and saying she needed to break free from Disney in order to finally "do my own thing."

Well, that's a character. I don't really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke, you know?"
On breaking free from Disney: "Things came out that happened - like, you know, bong videos - when I was on Disney. But I never wanted to do that to Disney. When I was no longer employed by anyone, that's when I was like, 'O.K., I'm going to do my own thing.'"
On being a role model: "I've got a little sister. I don't want her to smoke weed, and it's not because I think weed is bad, but [she'll make the choice when she's old enough]."
On remaining true to herself: "I don't know ho
