In a new, wide-ranging interview with Great Britain’s The Daily Mail, Miley Cyrus touches on a number of topics.

Among them: the difficulty of growing up famous, rich and with a legion of fans around the world; her hatred for celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton; and her plans to stay pure until marriage.

Here are excerpts from the article:

On being young and famous: “It’s hard growing up in the spotlight and I’m changing. I can’t be the 12-year-old who just moved to LA for ever. I’m having a great time doing what I do, but I’m also going to stumble and fall.”

On Perez Hilton: “That’s just a mean person. I don’t know how old he is, but taking it out on me is a little strange. It’s like going back to high school. I get to travel and go to London and Paris, while this person sits by the computer writing mean things about me. I’d rather be the one travelling.”

On sex: “I want to keep my virginity until I marry and then follow the lead of Jessica Simpson, another singer that made this claim, starred on a reality show, got divorced and has slept with as many men as possible since. I was brought up in a Christian family.”
