Hilary tycker att hon är normal
She talked with TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira about "Dignity" and being 19 and living on her own with her 22-year-old sister, actress and singer Haylie Duff.
"We?re trying to learn how to cook so we can feed ourselves," she told Vieira. "Haylie?s better than I am, but I can bake, which is good."?
"Are you trying to be adult?" Vieira asked Duff.
"People have watched me grow up for such a long time that everybody thinks that it?s this huge, new thing that I?m trying to do," she said. There was no conscious decision involved. Rather, she said, "It?s like the first time that I wanted to write my own music and come up with my own sound.
"I?m a little bit older. It?s where I am in my life right now."?
"?Nineteen? and ?dignity? don?t go together" very often these days, Vieira observed before asking Duff what her secret is.
"I don?t know," she said. "I wish there was some kind of formula I could explain. I guess it?s just the way you want to be seen, and what you do in your personal time and how much you want the public to know about that.
"I?m very close to my family. I?m very normal. If I?m not working ? I work pretty much every day ? I hang out with my dog and I live with my sister."
She doesn?t rely on material things for security, she said, adding, "My band and my crew ? I rely on them and my dog."?
