Quotes From Hilary Duff:
"I love clothes. I can't control myself. I have a huge fetish for shoes and clothes and make-up. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to wear things over and over again.""It's crazy and so surreal. I feel like such a normal person, yet everybody around the world knows my music, my movie, my name and my face. It's crazy sometimes, but I'm so flattered."
"My sister and I are best friends and we get along so well. She is so talented and inspiring to me. She's my role model."
"Mom always tells me to celebrate everyone's uniqueness. I like the way that sounds."
"I think ambition can be having something that you're good at and love to do."
"Every week I read about myself in a magazine, about something that I haven't done or some place that I've never been or don't even know. It's just gossip, rumors, egos, and politics."
"I think girls feel like they're not cool unless they have a boyfriend or they don't feel comfortable or happy with themselves and that's not true!"
