Miley Cyrus talks music, movie and marriage
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Miley Cyrus is working hard to finish her new album so she can take some time off to enjoy being engaged.
The 19-year-old entertainer plans to marry "Hunger Games" star Liam Hemsworth. They announced their engagement in June but haven't revealed their wedding date.
"I am married in my heart and my mind. I do everything that I would be if I had the paper, but I want to take the time to actually enjoy it," Cyrus said.
"My most important thing right now is ... I want people to hear what I want to say and get my record out, so when there is a time that I can take some time off, I'll feel like I accomplished my stuff," she said. "Then I can take a break and just enjoy being married for a little while."
So until then, Cyrus is busy working, promoting her film "So Undercover," due in February, and wrapping up her album, though no title or release date have been announced.
Cyrus says she doesn't stray too far from her country roots on the new record, but the songs are more hip-hop inspired.
"A lot of the beats are produced hip-hop beats," she said, "but the vocal is very raw and my voice is kind of on top of all the tracks, which is what I wanted."
Cyrus said she is working with producer Pharrell Williams and "a lot of hip-hop producers that are actually from the South, because I wanted more of that dirty-South vibe, a little ATL in there."
While she loves performing on camera, music matters most to Cyrus.
"I want people to remember me for things that are great," she said "Much bigger than the comedies that I do, but more about the music that I write and the songs that you leave for the world to think about."

YO SHES TRYING TO BRING BACK THE 80'S FOOLS
She looks like she is channeling Susan Powter.
Oink.
Wow, now that is some hair. I would love to know what that looks like when you wake up next to her in the morning.
@Ron Burgandy It's probably flat and neatly combed.
Most of you (commenters below) sound like jealous schoolchildren.
OMG, she looks like hell....skinny as a stick and stupid hair. She's lost herself
Just following in Britney's footsteps.
 @Yadayada That's called "fit"
I don't know much about her but do think she's a pretty girl. Â But every time I see that hair, I think of a Jiffy Pop popcorn pan, ready to be eaten. Â
Music, movie, and marriage. Yeah, always good to talk about stuff you really don't know anything about. Try me again when you actually have real experience.

Â
Um, Miley.... Yer not all that.
You sing like crap, you look like crap, and you act like crap. To think you weren't raised in a double wide is amazing.
Â
Â
Engaged at 19 to another celebrity...... I'm sure that will work out.Â
What the hell did Miley do to her hair sheesh that looks hideous!
19 years old and does not look it or sound it. I think fame is not going to do her good body wise.
"...but more about the music that I write and the songs that you leave for the world to think about."
Â
I, for one, don't really think about your music. Others may like it, but not me.
Popular culture can really suck.Â
 @plantfann Sure can these days...it's not fun like it used to be, is it? :(
wow....that's miley cyrus?  if someone would've just showed me a blank picture and said 'guess this celebrity' i wouldn't have said 'oh, that's miley cyrus'....i don't think the doo's working for me...or for her...
 @bartle_doo It's pretty hot when she doesn't have it... poofed up like that. Still, the shaved sides aren't for everyone. It looks better now http://i.imgur.com/8JKii.jpg
 @bartle_doo But it is a pretty nice.. ummmm.... dress!
Â
What there is of it!
 @bartle_doo Indeed. It appears she has committed a crime against all "hair-kind". She needs to fire her stylist asap.
