Duff Life is Weird

Duff’s life is weird. She just had her first full week off in – get this – two years. “I’m motivated, I can gut it up, even the stuff I don’t want to do,” she said. “But then I start to feel like, ‘Why do I do this? I’m so tired, I’m not having fun.’ We go to these cool cities, and we don’t even have time to stop in a restaurant and eat lunch. The job is 24 hours, around the clock, and not everyone understands that. And then millions and millions of people are reading things about you. And some of them aren’t even true, and you’re like, ‘I didn’t say that, how is this possible?’ But the more you try to defend yourself, the more it looks like you’re getting defensive and you’re lying. It’s a nightmare.”

Her form of release? “Twice a year I have a really good cry,” Duff continued. “I’ll be, ‘Wwaaaaah,’ for like, 10 minutes. For no reason. But it feels good. I’m like, ‘Whew.’”

All celebrities court fame, but until they get it, they can’t comprehend its pressures. The idea that, at 19, you can be called a has-been, denigrated for not changing fast enough to keep up – that’s like, whew.”You hear these stories,” Duff said, “and it’s like everyone is trying to top each other, ‘What can I do that will be more talked about than that?’ It’s ridiculous. I’m just trying to be honest.”

Something more? Hil’s dyeing her hair back to blond: “It’s summer!” she simple explained.
