Miley Cyrus isn't joking around when she says it's time for her to move on from the music biz.

She recently revealed on The View that she's become a bit disheartened because "the music industry isn't as positive as I'd like it to be."

She didn't backtrack at all when I caught up with her last night at the Hollywood premiere of The Last Song

"I've got a record coming out in June and then I'm done," she said. "I just want to work in movies. That's what I like and that's what I want to be doing."

The Last Song, opening March 31, is Cyrus' first major acting project outside of Hannah Montana.

Not only does the flick's director, Julie Anne Robinson, have high hopes for Cyrus, but so does her costar and real-life beau Liam Hemsworth. He says he wasn't surprised when Cyrus held her own during the movie's more dramatic scenes.

"You know how she feels when she's feeling down and you know how she feels when she's feeling up," he said. "She's a very expressive person and that works on the screen. It really does, and she's really good."
