"I didn't want to sing in the film. We sang in the car that once, but that doesn't really count. I didn't want to do a performance thing," said Cyrus, who also contributes two songs to the soundtrack but figures she wants to keep singing and acting separate from now on. "I never say I'm not going to do anything. Then if I end up doing it, I'm going to get a lot of crap. `She said she'd never ...', you know? And I don't have time for that drama and people freaking out. But most likely, I'd like to stay away from music in films and do a little something less obvious."
Music in general is going on hold for Cyrus, who said an upcoming album will be her last for at least a few years, because she wants to concentrate on big-screen roles. Cyrus, 17, has a handful of episodes left to shoot in the final season of "Hannah Montana," the Disney Channel series that made her a star.
She has remained in the Disney stable for a "Hannah Montana" concert movie and feature film and led the voice cast with John Travolta in the studio's animated hit "Bolt."
