Creativity Quote by Miley Cyrus

"Every career thing I do can't be perfect and sometimes my decisions are wrong"

About this Quote

Miley Cyrus is doing something deceptively hard here: lowering the temperature on celebrity judgment. “Every career thing I do can’t be perfect” reads like a shrug, but it’s also a quiet rebuke to an industry that sells “eras” as airtight narratives and then punishes artists when the seams show. The line doesn’t ask for pity; it asks for room to be human inside a machine that monetizes certainty.

The phrasing matters. “Career thing” is almost comically casual, a deliberately unglamorous term for what is, in her case, a global brand. That choice undercuts the mythology that each move is hyper-calculated. Then she goes further: “sometimes my decisions are wrong.” Not misunderstood, not “misrepresented” - wrong. In pop culture, that’s radical candor, because admissions of error usually arrive wrapped in PR language about growth and learning. Cyrus keeps it blunt, which signals a controlled vulnerability: she’s owning the fallibility without surrendering authorship of her story.

The subtext is about the Miley Cyrus problem: she’s been asked, since adolescence, to be both icon and cautionary tale, often in the same week. Her most scrutinized pivots - Disney to provocation, reinventions that critics labeled “too much” or “not serious” - trained the audience to treat her choices like public referendums. This quote resets the terms. It’s less an apology than a boundary: you can watch, you can judge, but you don’t get to demand perfection as the admission price.
