"This movie was never meant to be the end of Hannah Montana," she tells April's Billboard magazine. "The thing is, a lot of people put where the show's future lays in my hands and it's not up to me. It's up to Disney and whether they want more episodes, and we hope that they do."
(A Disney Channel rep says the network is still considering the option to renew the show for a fourth season.)
Still, the 16-year-old -- who recently released the memoir Miles to Go -- says she has come to terms that her Hannah Montana days are winding down.
"It's just an honor for people to be able to relate to me and my music and not so much the character anymore," she says. "I can't be Hannah Montana forever. I have to have something after this. I can't do this when I'm 30."
Taking a break from the show has its plusses, she says.
"It's, like, the first time I've seen all my friends in seven months," says Cyrus, who is dating model Justin Gaston , 20. "It's hard, man. With all the stuff that goes on with this business, I only want to do something if I absolutely love it."
