WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,

AND AS I GOT OLDER, I CHANGED MY MIND,

BUT I ALWAYS WANTED TO SKYDIVE, AND YOU DID THAT.

- HAVE YOU DONE IT YET?

- NO, I'M NOT GONNA DO IT NOW. IT'S TOO LATE.

[laughter]

NOW I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SKYDIVE.

WAS IT--WAS IT AS SCARY AND FUN AS YOU THOUGHT?

- IT WAS--IT WAS ACTUALLY LESS SCARY THAN I THOUGHT,

BECAUSE I GREW UP HAVING A LOT OF ANXIETY,

AND SO WITH WHAT I DO, I CAN'T REALLY HAVE THAT ANXIETY,

SO THAT WAS ONE THING THAT I FELT LIKE,

IF I CAN PERFORM AT THE VMAs

AND IF I CAN JUMP OUT OF A PLANE,

THERE'S NO REASON FOR ME TO HAVE ANXIETY ANYMORE.

SO I THINK ONCE YOU DO IT,

I THINK YOU'LL NEVER REALLY DOUBT YOURSELF EVER AGAIN,

CAUSE IT'S--

- SO NOW YOU'RE--YOU HAVE NOTHING YOU'RE SCARED OF.

- I CAME TO AS CLOSE TO DEATH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN,

BECAUSE YOU MAKE--THEY MAKE YOU--THIS IS THE SCARY PART.

THEY MAKE YOU MAKE A MOVIE, LIKE, RIGHT BEFORE.

THEY FILM YOU SAYING, "I, MILEY CYRUS, REALIZE

SOMETIMES PARACHUTES DON'T WORK."

AND THAT'S, LIKE, ONE OF THE WORST SENTENCES

I'VE EVER SAID IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

BEFORE JUMPING 12,000 FEET.

- SO NOW YOU'RE SAYING, SO NOTHING WILL SCARE YOU ANYMORE.

- NOTHING--NO, NOTHING CAN-- - ARRGH!

- OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!

[cheers and applause]

I NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR ELLEN.

- OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!

- AT LEAST IT'S NOT THE STRIPPERS.

- NO. [laughs]

- I WAS SCARED IT WAS GONNA BE STRIPPERS.

YOU NEVER KNOW WITH ELLEN.

- NO, IT'S JUST A ROBIN THICKE LOOKALIKE, SO...

- NOTHING SCARIER.

- NOTHING WILL SCARE YOU ANYMORE.

- NOTHING--NO, NOTHING CAN-- - ARRGH!

- OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!

[cheers and applause]

- IT'S SUCH A SWEET, INNOCENT, "OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!"

- [laughs]

- ALL RIGHT, WE'LL TAKE A BREAK. WE'LL BE BACK.
