User and UserProfile objects in Django

I'm having some trouble with a related field to User in my UserProfile model.

I have this field in my UserProfile model:

friends = models.ManyToManyField(User, null=True)

When I call 

User.objects.get(pk=234).get_profile().friends.all()

I get the set of friends as User objects

When I call

User.objects.get(pk=234).friends_set.all()

I get a list of UserProfile objects.

Is there a way (without changing the relationship to be with a UserProfile object) to get each side of the relationship returned as either User or UserProfile?

EDIT:

Sorry for the confusion i figured out what i was trying to do:

user = User.objects.get(pk=234)
User.objects.filter(userprofile__friends=user).all()

There isn't just one relationship so there is more then just the two sides you are considering. A user has a relationship with a profile object (FK) and another with numerous user objects (M2M).

I believe that this is the way to select the UserProfile objects which are friends with a given user:

UserProfile.objects.filter(friends__user = 234)

And here are the User objects for the same set of users:

User.objects.filter(userprofile__friends__user = 234)
