Hilary recently went to Amsterdam to promote her best selling book "Elixir" and did a fan interview, of course music and her film career were apart of the interview and Hilary spilled the REAL true tea on her future plans.
J: I see, well, we also have some questions about music of course, because we as fans love your music and would love it if you went back to music, as you may know. (Hilary giggles)
H: My Twitter page is filled with messages like: When are you doing music again, when are you doing music again, when are you doing music again?
J: It’s making you crazy, right?
H: Well it’s a little bit of both you know, because it is so flattering to hear people want me to do music again. It makes me feel as if there is a want for it and that is of course a really nice feeling, but I don’t know what I want to do and I think I want to be different than I was before. So once I figure out what kind of music I want to sing and what direction I want to go in. I want to create a different image of myself, just because I am not the same person as I was before, I mean I am, but I’ve grown. My style is not like, I am going to take all my clothes off and be crazy. But I think people know that about me already but I think the content and the sound would have to change drastically and when I meet the right person (the right producer, to like their work, vibe and vision) I think I’ll know that I am ready to start making music again. I do hope it happens rather sooner than later, I keep saying maybe in a year, but it is harder now that I am married. I have a responsibility. That’s so funny, when Mike and I met we fell in love and he was like: ‘What are you even going to sing about, you’ve already found me and I am perfect.’ (everybody laughs) He said well you can’t write about someone not loving you, because I am here and I love you a lot.
J: Well maybe you can write about what comes after you find the right person. (Hilary laughs) So the Dignity Tour was the last tour you did, will you be touring in the future if or when you have a new album out?
H: Yes, of course. I think that’s the big reward of making a record, you know being on stage and seeing the people that are listing to your record and you know that is the feeling that I miss so much, there are no words to put to that. I mean, being in the studio is great too because it is the creation of everything, but I can’t imagine making a record and it being done, that’s it.
Going on tour and sharing your music is the normal thing to do after creating your record. Of course you make money, but the most rewarding thing is sharing your music with people, especially with people in other countries, having your fans singing your music, screaming it back to you, when it isn’t even in their own language. All the energy and love give you a great feeling, but it is hard too and I guess that is why I stopped for so long. It is exhausting and after a while you stop enjoying it, because you are doing the same thing every night until you are like; okay I don’t even feel human anymore and I really need to take a break, be human and enjoy what I worked really hard for.
J: Do you think the Dignity Tour will ever appear on DVD? Or maybe another, because it is available on iTunes, but it hasn’t appeared on DVD or Blu-ray?
H: I am not sure, because Hollywood Records may have the exclusive rights to that, so we’ll have to look that up and we’ll let you know.
(After the interview we confirmed that Hilary Duff: Live At Gibson Amphitheatre – August 15th, 2007 is currentlyjust available for download as an album from the US and Canadian iTunes Store and as a concert film from the US iTunes Store).
J: So, on to movies, today Beauty and the Briefcase was released on DVD in the States, congratulations. What was it like for you to play that character, dating those different men?
H: It was cool… (pause) I’m trying to think. It was a really cute script. For a while I was just not liking anything I read and it was right after Gossip Girl that I went and did that. Wait, my timeline is all screwed up in my head. So I guess I went and did that and then started writing! I guess I was just missing doing physical comedy, because that’s where I started. You know Lizzie McGuire was really goofball funny, physical comedy. That script had a lot of that in it and it was only a three week shoot so I just did it.
I went to New Orleans with one of my best friends and we shot the movie. It was cool, I liked it. It was kind of like a Legally Blond meets, not Clueless, but more Working Girl, kind of.
J: Would like to be in Big Screen Movies instead of smaller independent films?
H: I want a big movie. I mean yeah, I want it all! (Hilary says whilst grinning) I really felt like uhm (pause)…Did you ever see a movie I did called Greta?
J: Yes, I have it on DVD.
H: You do? (she asks surprised) That really gave me a lot of – well I think five people saw that movie – (modestly stated), but anyway that was a great movie to make for me and it was really low budget, I mean we just kind of threw it together, but you know I love doing small movies, but also I want to do a big movie because I want to prove myself to people. I think I have a lot of work ahead of me, things to accomplish, to work on my craft and grow even more, because I don’t think that I am the best that I can be yet. But it all comes with time and more experiences.
