She’s a multiplatinum hit machine. Her franchise is worth nearly a billion dollars. And, oh yeah, she just got her learner’s permit. You are now entering the crazy, chaotic and completely fun world of Miley Cyrus—fasten your seat belt and hang on as the teen superstar opens up about life, regrets and becoming a woman.

The night before the Oscars, I meet Miley Cyrus at a sushi restaurant in L.A. Like any other fashion-obsessed teenager, she’s bubbling on excitedly about the dress she’s planning to wear the next evening. Her “happy-to-be-invited-to-the-party” attitude is a cute contradiction, given all she’s accomplished so far: Her Disney Channel sitcom, Hannah Montana, debuted as the highest-rated show in the network’s history; one of the series’ soundtracks went double-platinum; tickets for her “Best of Both Worlds” concert tour grossed $55.2 million; and now she’s starring in Hannah Montana: The Movie. The G-rated feature promises to be another huge boost for the Hannah Montana franchise, which is currently projected to be worth more than—ready for this?—$1 billion.

All that’s fine and good, but the 16-year-old is itching to move on to the next phase of her life. She’s maturing professionally (this is her first women’s magazine cover) and personally: Cyrus is dating a 20-year-old model, Justin Gaston. Along the way, she has had to navigate controversy for the first time. She did a shoot for Vanity Fair in which she posed wearing pretty much just a sheet. More seriously, a snapshot surfaced several months ago of Cyrus goofing around with friends and pulling her eyes into slits. The photo sparked accusations of insensitivity to Asians.

Although Cyrus is under far more scrutiny than the average teen, she seems unfazed by her fishbowl existence, talking candidly about the woman she hopes to be and every other topic thrown her way. Read on to catch this mini-mogul on the cusp of change.

GLAMOUR: OK, so I’m sitting here, eating sushi with you, and I have to say, you seem like a totally normal young woman! How is this possible?

MILEY CYRUS: [Laughs.] I think at some point during everyone’s life, you finally figure yourself out. I haven’t even done that yet. I’m still learning who I am.
