Hilary Duff Photo Gallery, News, Interviews, Biography

A : What's the very latest?
Hilary Duff : We've been working on the show and now I have a break. I think I'm going to be doing a movie for Disney Channel called Cadet Kelly. You know the movie with Goldie Hawn called Private Benjamin? It's kind of like that, but for a 13-year-old girl. I have to do two weeks worth of training for it. It's really cool because they're going to send me back to Texas to do it. So I get to be in Houston and see my family and stuff. Then we'll be filming it in Toronto. You should come down to Toronto-we'll have a party! [Giggles]

A : What three things do you always have to have in your bag when you're traveling?
Hilary Duff : My makeup, my cellphone and money.

A : Is there anything going on with your rumored music career?
Hilary Duff : Um... a little bit. [Giggles] It's pop music, hopefully. When I'm more sure about it, I'll tell you more!

A : Are you still hanging out with Aaron?
Hilary Duff : [Giggles] I'm good friends with Aaron. We haven't talked in a long time, but he left some messages for me. I saw him at the Kids' Choice Awards and that's the last time I saw him.

A : Will you see Aaron's massive concert tour?
Hilary Duff : I was going to go to the one in Las Vegas, because my sister's group got tickets. But I'm not going to go--I'm going to be in Toronto. Hopefully that will be me next year. I hope so!

A : Lizzie McGuire is doing so well!
Hilary Duff : We were picked up for another 34 episodes next year. It's the most Disney'ss ever ordered from a show before. And in the fall, we're going to be going to ABC. Our reruns are going to be on ABC Saturday mornings.

A : Are there any fave episodes that sticks out in your mind?
Hilary Duff : A really good one called "Gordo and the Girl." It's really fun because Lalaine--who plays Miranda--and I follow him on a date. And Lalaine is dressed up like a boy, like we're going on a date. We run into this waiter and and it's this big disaster. All this spaghetti sauce gets all over us. It was so much fun! The spaghetti was the nastiest thing and it was freexing cold. Lalaine and I were, "Ahhh!" It was mushy with olives... so nasty. It took like an hour to get the spaghetti sauce out of my hair.

A : Do you come to New York often?
Hilary Duff : This is my fourth time here. I always dress in bright colors and everyone here wears black. Not everyone, but a lot of people. So I'm like, "Oh, my god--I am in hot pink!" and I'm like, "No! Hide!"
I like it, though. I like the shopping here. I found a really cute store here--I think it's in SoHo--called Mystique Boutique.
In Los Angeles, I like Bebe and I usually go to the teen section in Macy's. I like brands like XOXO and Guess.

A : Do you go on-line a lot?
Hilary Duff : It's kind of hard for me to go on-line because--I don't know how--everybody's got my screen name. People I don't know, all across the world. I feel so bad... I can't talk to everyone and then they get mad at me. And they're like, "I'm not going to watch the show anymore!"
I want to be able to talk to friends on-line on AOL and they just keep giving out my screen name. But if I want to look up something or go on websites and stuff, I just go on my dad's screen name... he doesn't even know how to turn on a computer. [Giggles]

A : Do you get recognized a lot?
Hilary Duff : I have a really crazy story! Bob's big boy Restaurant, I was there with my big sister and some of her friends, and Lalaine was with me. I went into the bathroom and these four girls followed me into the bathroom and had their ear up to my stall. Ewww! My sister walked in because she them go, "Oh, my God! That's Lizzie McGuire!" I didn't even know what was happening. My sister was like, "You're sick!" I was like, "Okay, listen to me pee, please!" [Giggle hysterically]

A : What's the best advice your mom has ever given you?
Hilary Duff : My mom is always like, "Follow your dreams, do whatever you want to do, because I'm going to help you. If you want to drop out of the business and go straight to school, i will be there." I'm sure if she had her choice, we'd be back in Texas and I'd be going to regular school.

A : Do you *want* to go college someday?
Hilary Duff : I like school because it's important to have an education but you can always go to collage later if you want to. [Glancing across room at Mom] I know I'm going to go!!!
