“I think I was just in a stage where I was just trying to get things done, and maybe look for an older audience,” the Hannah Montana actress told GMA’s Robin Roberts of her photo scandal with Vanity Fair Magazine earlier this year. “I was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying.”

Miley also pulled the “I’m Just A Kid” Card to explain her penchant for X-rated picture posing:

“People need to remember that I am young and that I do have feelings, and I’ll do the same thing for them. Anyone who was 15 years old can’t say they haven’t made a mistake. So I think it’s just normal.”

Miley’s new album, Breakout, is available now.
