"There may come a time when I do something people might be shocked by. It's all in the timing"

"When people try to rip of their clothes because they want to grow up so fast, it isn't a sign of maturity. That's a sign of immaturity. It's not a very good example either. But if they feel comfortable doing that, then more power to them"

"Certain artists my age who are going through this phase of not wanting a younger audience or not wanting people their age to like them or trying to get a more male-oriented audience will take their clothes off. I definitely don't think that's a sign of maturity."

"Because of the business that I'm in, I've definitely grown up a little bit faster. I don't know if I really feel the same emotions as a regular 17-year-old, like I'm mad at the world or people don't understand or I hate my parents. I don't feel those things. I feel other things. Sometimes I cry because I'll be so overwhelmed with all the stuff that I have to do, but with my job I get some incredible things that other people might not experience, so I try not to take things too seriously."

"I do want to grow up and I am growing up you know, but I think that you can show yourself growing up in different ways than a lot of people have"

"I do want to grow up and I am growing up, but I think you can show yourself growing up in different ways than a lot of people have.

"I don't necessarily think it shows a sign of maturity . . . when you take your clothes off."

"You can be sexy and beautiful and keep your clothes on."

"I think growing up means different things for different people. I don't think it means taking your clothes off and going out and partying. Nor does it mean having my boobs pushed up to my chin."

"I feel really supported and I just want to thank everyone that appreciates what I do."

"Sometimes I feel like I can't win with myself. I'll be in the middle of a tour and it's so fast-paced; we're in a new place every single night. Then I'll get tired of it and wish I was filming a movie because the process is much slower. But, I'll be in the middle of filming a movie and be bored and wish I was on tour. I like doing both and I don't want to have to choose. When I'm on tour, it's like I get to actually meet the fans and I get to see all the people who are supporting me. It's like a venue 14,000 with people having your name painted on their body, know every single word to your music, is such a cool feeling."

"I was in the middle of filming 'The Perfect Man' and was literally flying home on the weekends trying to get it [Hilary Duff CD] done. Even on this [recent] tour, in the beginning, we were like going to studios at night trying to get it done. One time we set up a microphone in my dressing room and I did the outro to the album. It was so ghetto, but we got it done."

"It's [Haters] done very tongue-in-cheek. People will know what it's about [when they hear it]."

"I'm nervous for people to hear it [Hilary Duff CD] Some of the things I talked about [on the album] I wouldn't sit here and talk about, but I feel like there's some answers on it."

"I'm glad it's [Most Wanted Tour] over. It was really an incredible feeling. Being onstage is instant gratification. It's really cool to have 13,000 people in a venue singing every word to every song, but I got tired living out of a suitcase."

"Compared to the first album, when I wasn't confident enough to make suggestions, this time around, I was very involved. I worked with the songwriters, telling them what was happening in my life, and what I wanted to sing about"
