Everyone has asked my permission. I was like, I will ask Hillary. I usually don't allow, you know, it's just, but the energy around the excitement that you bring to people.
Yeah.
I mean, how does that feel?
Chapter 7: What lessons has Hilary learned from her family dynamics?
Because you've done it for so long, but you still bring this like really electric energy to everyone who's a fan of yours and has been for so long.
I swear to God, I'm not trying to do an album plug right now, but I just feel Bucky. I feel like whatever reason my purpose is to be here is like to connect with people. And I've had the joy of being able to do it for 20 plus years. And some of that's felt high and some of that's felt low. But I genuinely feel like people are excited to like meet me and say hi and like have a It feels normal.
Like it feels really like genuine always.
Chapter 8: How does Hilary Duff view her relationship with luck and intuition?
And I'm always met with that. And it's a really, you know, I'm not saying it's not a big responsibility sometimes, but, you know, being met with like excitement and someone being like, you've meant so much to me. It's a lovely feeling.
yeah no it's definitely there I've got people have got stories of coming to your tours at 13 years old and saying ridiculous things to you like in my team and meeting you for a few moments and just having the best experiences but I was thinking yeah you've you've meant this for 25 years you've had you've been so many things to so many people through the characters you've played the music of course now your new album what's the version of Hilary Duff that you want people to meet now at this point in your life
part of the reason this, you know, return to music is feeling so good to me is just that it's like, feels completely like rooted in my truth and who I am and what I live with. And, you know, introducing people to my past 10 years and knowing that we are going to connect on many levels of experiences and feelings and disappointments and celebrations and like everything in between.
So that's kind of what I want them to know about me now and who I want them to meet. Like they have known me my whole life. I have, you know, played a character that never grew up on TV. You know, she stayed that same age. And not that I feel that that's like the public consensus around me anymore. I think people are pretty familiarized with me and who I am. But
I care a lot less and I feel like truth is more important than like politeness and all of that. So that's what the record feels like to me. And that's kind of just how I feel comfortable moving through the world. I don't know if that's just with age or being a mom of four or being in a settled relationship or being in the industry for as long as I have with many ups and downs.
Yeah, I feel like people are getting to meet a mature, real version of you and one that is very accepting and embracing of this amazing journey you've had, which is so beautiful.
I think as humans, we tend to have this perspective of like, well, now I am who I am and I've like given up everything and I feel like you have this beautiful way of being like, I love those experiences and they mean so much to me and now everyone gets to come on the journey with me. Yeah. At least what I'm hearing.
I think that's true. I think that's absolutely true. And I get to like keep the pieces that still work for me and, you know, obviously continue to grow. But I like move with like a confidence and like a knowing that just occurred, you know, also also compiled with like a messy insecurity. And all of those things are just like what makes up life.
The feeling accepting of all the things that come our way and that like we discovered on our path, you know.
