I was harshly judged as a child by adults, and now, as an adult, I realize that I would never harshly judge a child.”Miley also confessed that she had been purposefully trying to distance herself from her Hannah Montana character, explaining: “I was creating attention for myself because I was dividing myself from a character I had played. Anyone, when you’re 20 or 21, you have more to prove: ‘I’m not my parents. I am who I am.’”
