Creativity Quote by Miley Cyrus

"I am not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me!"

About this Quote

Self-diagnosis as punchline: Miley Cyrus turns a potential flaw into a boundary with a wink. The line works because it’s half confession, half disclaimer, delivered in the exaggerated cadence of someone who knows exactly how gossip moves through a room. She’s not asking to be trusted; she’s warning you not to outsource your privacy to her. That flip is the joke, and it’s also the power move.

The subtext is celebrity reality. In a life where your relationships, mistakes, and reinventions are public property by default, “keeping secrets” becomes less a virtue than a luxury good. Cyrus frames leakiness as honesty rather than betrayal: if she can’t hold a secret, the ethical act is to say so up front. It’s a small, practical version of consent culture applied to information-sharing: don’t hand someone a responsibility they didn’t agree to carry.

There’s also a brand logic here. Cyrus’s persona has long traded on candor, unpredictability, and the refusal to play prim. By making her unreliability explicit, she turns scandal’s usual weapon - “she told” - into something almost disarming: of course she did; she told you she would. It’s self-aware damage control disguised as humor.

In a social media era that treats everyone as a micro-publicist and micro-leak, the quote lands because it’s relatable and bracing. The real message: if you want secrecy, choose secrecy, not a person.
