Hilary Duff: I feel pressured to make music at times
Quote:
Last time we talked, you said that music was on the back burner for you. Is that still the case? Have you been dabbling in the studio at all?
I haven't been dabbling yet, but I think I will. It's so hard because I feel like I get pressured into it by my fans or people that ask. They're like, "What's going on?!" And I'm like, "I don't know!"
I just got home -- we just wrapped the season -- and I'm in a construction zone nightmare at my house, and I'm just getting used to being full-blown mom again. But, you know, I do have new management, and I'm super excited for new stuff. I really want to work on my lifestyle brand and music will always be an element, I'm just not sure at what level.
Is it difficult to balance that pressure from fans and appeasing your fans' desires while also doing what you really want to be doing?
I care so much about what my fans think. They have been so loyal to me, and I could never even dream that I would have people all across the world that cared so much about every move I make or every product that I put out there. I feel like I don't want to disappoint them, but I also feel like I do a good job at cancelling out the noise when I just need to be a mom. That's really what I care about in my life right now. Any parent can attest to that feeling. There are days or weeks that go by without ever even opening Instagram, and then I'll post one thing and people will be like, "We missed you!" I don't want to be a slave to it, but I understand the importance and I enjoy it.
And at the end of the day, your fans just want you to be happy.
Yeah, exactly. There's definitely a new way to figure out the balance so you can connect with them and reach them and let them into my life, which is why I think, ultimately, people have stuck by me through all these years -- I feel reachable and relatable to them.

She's literally Britney 2.0 but Britney wasn't even this lazy. Why can't she be honest and admit she doesn't want to do this rather than string everyone along? Go be a mum if that's what you want, no one is actually stopping you, Hilary.
I wish she figured out a way to balance motherhood and her music career as quick as she figures out her next holiday destination.
She's been trying for over 4 years now.
I don't get it. sorry.
