Hilary Duff

It sucks that I'm not an adult coming out with an album that people don't know my story and all the players in it.

People have known everybody in my life since I was

on Lizzie McGuire, you know, they know my mom, my sister, my dad, like we have a small family.

People are interested in that for some reason.

And it's really sad, you know, the kind of like where we are right now and scary to share it because of like the internet.

But important for me, like I'm just saying how it feels for me.

And that was something on the record I really tried to accomplish is like not placing blame anywhere.

Takes a lot of people for... It takes everybody involved, you know, for things to kind of be where they are.

But I was just trying to talk about how it feels like for me and reach people because...

it's real and a lot of people share a similar story and yeah, no, it's never easy to see people speculating on your life for clicks, but it's easier to tune the noise out with like having the household that I have and that like soft landing and that all the love and you know, I've created that family I'm so proud of like,

that makes all of the things that I've been through like, okay.

My purpose was for making my record was for myself.

And I think that it,

like you always hope for something to be healthy again, and something to be good again.

But I don't know if like, I don't know if my, me being honest and vulnerable will,

you know, be met with openness or anger or what it could, you know, there's many different options there.

And I think I had to just let go of an expectation and do what I wanted for me.

And that's that, you know, it's a painful thing to talk about.

Yeah.

Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but like even since I started like.
