Hilary Duff is content with current success
Quote:
After "Lizzie McGuire," was it hard to make the next move? Is it still hard to make the next move?
It is hard. Instead of me trying to calculate how to do it and how to be successful at it - a lot of people chose different ways than I did, like Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen twins and even Miley Cyrus - I just chose to bow out for a minute.
Why bow out?
I really needed it personally. I grew up in the spotlight and on tour and with everyone just knowing me and knowing me a certain way. At some point I was like, "I don't even know if I'm that person anymore, and I don't even have the time to figure that out." I was just making records and touring and making movies, and then doing it all over again. I basically did a cycle of that four times, and by the end of it, I was like, "I'm done. I don't enjoy this anymore. I'm not who I wanna be."
So, I just took a break. Everyone thought I was just absolutely nuts because I was really successful and making a lot of money. And it was scary, because there was no guarantee that my career was still gonna be there. I think, personally, it was very healthy, and I'm proud of where I am now. My new record being top 5 on Billboard after working on it for eight years - I'm proud of that. I don't need to be No. 1. I need to just do things that fulfill me and make me happy and hopefully connect with people at a certain level.

On touring:
Quote:
Speaking of venues, will you be touring for this record? It's been too long.
Yes, I will tour. It took me so long to make my record because it wasn't where it needed to be. When I started making the record, I wasn't like, "I have to get it out at this time"; I was like, "It's gotta be right - after seven years, why be in a rush now?"
Halfway through the process of making my record I signed onto the show "Younger" (on TV Land) and that was really good for me because I think it helped get me out of - you know when you just need to shake it up? I was terrified. My son had just started school and obviously I was going through a separation and I was like, "I can't just up and continue work," and then I was like, "Actually, I can and I'm going to." This is a great project, and I love New York and it was really good for me. I put a pause on the record and then came back to it after Christmas; it was a great thing for me. It helped turn the record into a proper direction, so now "Younger" got picked up for a second season. I'll shoot from September until December and then I'll tour after Christmas.
A world tour?
I think it'll be a world tour. I don't know if I can set it up like how I used to for five months at a time. Obviously my child is my number one priority, but I think I can do a month at a time and then come back and then go back out for a month. And it'll have to be a world tour because some of my biggest markets are in South America and Australia and Asia, so we'll see. No promises, but that's what I want to happen.
