"People are impressed with me - because I can sleep for just 45 minutes - I'm used to it"
About this Quote
In pop, sleep becomes a proxy for work ethic and mythmaking. Stars are expected to be everywhere at once: studio, tour, press, social feeds, reinvention cycles that never stop. Cyrus isn’t just describing a schedule; she’s performing a persona built on durability. The line “People are impressed with me” also exposes the audience’s complicity. We reward the spectacle of self-overextension because it confirms the narrative we want: the artist as superhuman machine, immune to limits the rest of us can’t escape.
There’s a distinctly Millennial-era hustle logic here, updated for celebrity: if you can function on scraps, you must be extraordinary. But the admission sneaks in a darker truth about the entertainment economy - that “used to it” can mean you’ve normalized unsustainable demands. The quote works because it’s casually delivered, almost offhand, the way real coping mechanisms often are. The performance is confidence; the undertone is cost.
