"I've had really bad anxiety and depression in my life and a lot of that stemmed from the way I look. Now I really try not to care. If you're funny enough and cool enough and confident, that's what will make you feel beautiful," Cyrus told Elle magazine.

"I don't relate to what people have made men and women into. I know I'm more extreme than most guys, but that doesn't make me a boy. And the other night I wore a pink dress because I felt cute. I can bake a cupcake and then go play hockey," Cyrus added.
