Hilary Duff on being normal
Here are some excerpts from an article published in the Telegraph - in it, Hilary Duff talks about living a normal life and gives advice to other celebrities who have been out of control:
The popular singer/actor doesn’t understand the troubles of many of her contemporaries…
"I don’t know why they are running into those kinds of problems, like getting DUI (driving under the influence) and that,” Duff told Insider.
"If someone is 20 or 21 and they want to go out to a club and dance and drink or do whatever, that is normal.
"They are just acting their age, but (if) everyone is paying attention to you because you are who you are … like, it just seems like it is so easy to avoid.
"Getting a DUI or even getting in a car after you’ve been drinking … like, hire a driver.”…
On the photography during the "Greta" filming:
"It has been crazy. I expect to be followed around in LA or New York, but in Jersey I had no idea that it was going to be like that,” she said.
Asked how she has maintained normalcy in her life, Duff, who has sold 13 million albums, is quick to answer.
"You have to have rules and boundaries,” she said.
"A lot of people love that (media) attention and that is where they lose their minds, getting eaten up with constantly being the centre of attention or wanting to be seen wherever they go.”…
Duff said she tried to hang around normal people.
"I have a lot of semi-acquaintances in the business, but they are not my everyday friends I call when I want to have a chat.
"I have a really great support system in my sister and my mum and don’t think they would ever let me lose track of reality like that. And I am glad for it.”
