(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Miley Cyrus has admitted that she is keen to "explore sexuality".

The 18-year-old singer and actress started off her career as a Disney performer but soon built a reputation as a wild child.

But The Climb singer says that although she is not the "crazy lady" some portray her to be she is open to experiencing the same things that other girls her age do.

"People have very mixed opinions on me; I'm a great role model, or I'm completely inappropriate for anyone under 13 and I am controversial," she told Prestige magazine. "I don't know how I became this."

"It's weird. Two complete extremes. I'm not some crazy lady who's gone off the deep end, because I definitely haven't.

"I just always try to be real. Every 18-year-old explores sexuality and experiments and tries things.

"For me there's no reason to change that. You have to be true to yourself."

Miley is back dating Australian actor Liam Hemsworth after a short split and says she is more of a home body than people realise.

"I stay in the house pretty much every day. I don't go out. I've had the same boyfriend for two years. So I think there are two very different reviews," Miley deduced.

In fact Miley was seen out grocery shopping with Liam yesterday showing off her more domesticated side. (C) Cover Media
