> Hilary: THANK YOU.

> Rick: YES! MAKE SOME NOISE, EVERYBODY! HI, HILARY. HOW ARE YOU? SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

> Hilary: YOU, TOO.

> Rick: THEY LOVE YOU. LOOK AT THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE HERE. (Continued screaming)

> Hilary: I LOVE THEM, TOO. IT'S AWESOME.

> Rick: AND THEY LOVE YOU AT HOME AS WELL. WE'LL BE TAKING QUESTIONS. MUCH MORE ON THE WAY. HILARY DUFF "LIVE@Much." \M If you change your mind \M \M \M That's the way it goes \M \M (Applause and cheering)

> Rick: YES, SIRREE! YOU'RE BACK WITH A "LIVE@Much," FEATURING HILARY DUFF. THEY HAVE COME DOWN IN DROVES. THERE'S LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE.

> Hilary: IT'S CRAZY!

> Rick: THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG JUST TO SEE YOU.

> Hilary: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I'M JUST SHOCKED. EVERYBODY IS SO COOL AND SO CRAZY, I LOVE IT. IT'S GREAT! (Screaming)

> Rick: AND YOU CAN ADD SO LOUD TO THAT AS WELL.

> Hilary: I CAN ADD "SO LOUD," TOO. THEY'RE GOOD!

> Rick: I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME IT WAS THIS LOUD HERE AT MuchMusic. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING TO THEM.

> Hilary: WELL, THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR COMING OUT. IT'S AWESOME! I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD DO IT ONCE MORE, RICK. (Screaming)

> Rick: LOOKING--

> Hilary: I THOUGHT I WOULD DO IT ONE MORE TIME.

> Rick: LOOKING AROUND YOU HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE, THOUSANDS WATCHING. DO YOU EVER GET BORED OF THIS SORT OF THING HERE?

> Hilary: NO WAY! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! IT'S EXCITING, AWESOME. I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH IT. I'M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME WITH ALL OF THIS.

> Rick: THAT'S THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR. WOULD YOU SAY THAT SUCCESS HAS COME TO YOU AT A PRETTY FAST RATE, FAST PACE?

> Hilary: WELL, I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I WAS LIKE SIX, REALLY STARTED TO GET INVOLVED WHEN I WAS EIGHT OR NINE. I WORKED REALLY HARD. I BOOKED A TV SHOW, WHICH IS "LIZZIE McGUIRE"-- (Screaming) -- AND THAT'S WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY. SO IT DID, BUT I'M HAPPY AND BLESSED.

> Rick: WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE FAME HAS FOUND YOU, FOR YOU?

> Hilary: MY LIFE IS SO CRAZY. IT'S REALLY EXCITING. I GET TO COME VISIT ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND WHAT I LOVE IS SUPPORT FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FROM DIFFERENT FANS AND STUFF. IT BLOWS MY MIND ALL THE TIME, "ARE THEY SCREAMING FOR ME? I DON'T GET IT!" SOMETIMES IT GETS HARD AND I GET TIRED, BUT IT'S LIKE SACRIFICES, YOU KNOW?

> Rick: AND-- (Screaming and applause)

> Rick: AND TO DO IT ALL, AND YOU'RE ONLY 16 YEARS OLD.

> Hilary: (Laughing)

> Rick: THAT'S THE UNBELIEVABLE PART.

> Hilary: BUT IT'S FUNNY, I FEEL LIKE WHEN I WORK AND STUFF, I DON'T REALLY FEEL 16, BUT THEN WHEN I HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS, YOU KNOW, I FEEL YOUNGER THAN 16. (Screaming)

> Rick: I THINK THEY WANT US TO COME OUTSIDE. WE WILL IN A BIT. WE WILL IN A BIT. I JUST STARTED THE DAMN INTERVIEW!

> Hilary: I'M SO EXCITED YOU GUYS CAME. IT'S REALLY COLD OUTSIDE. THANK YOU.

> Rick: WE'LL BE OUT SOON. (Screaming)

> Rick: ASIDE FROM THE MUSIC, THE ACTING, THERE'S THIS FASHION LINE THAT YOU HAVE OUT NOW-- (Continued screaming) -- AND HOW IMPORTANT IS IMAGE AND STYLE FOR YOU?

> Hilary: I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR EVERY GIRL IN THIS ROOM THAT EVERY GIRL REALLY LOVES CLOTHES AND THEY LOVE TO GO SHOPPING-- (Screaming)

> Rick: BIG CHEERS FOR THAT. EVEN THE GUYS, I GUESS.

> Hilary: YEAH, GUYS DO. IT'S SO IMPORTANT. IF YOU DRESS CUTE AND LIKE THE WAY YOU DRESS AND FEEL COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT WITH YOURSELF, THAT ALWAYS FEELS GOOD. THE CLOTHING LINE IS SOMETHING I HAD FUN WITH AND I HOPE THE GIRLS ENJOY-- I SEE A COUPLE OF GIRLS THERE WEARING THE HATS.

> Rick: NICE. I LIKE THAT GUY'S SENSE OF STYLE. HE HAS THE HEAD BAND ON. THAT'S COOL.

> Hilary: I LOVE IT, TOO.

> Rick: CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

> Hilary: IT DEPENDS. I THINK IT CHANGES ALL THE TIME. WHEN I PERFORM, I WEAR, YOU KNOW, MORE STAND-OUT STUFF AND WHEN I DRESS FOR EVERYBODY, I LOVE JEANS. I'LL TELL YOU A SECRET: I'M ONLY 5 FOOT 1 AND I ALWAYS HAVE BIG HEELS ON BECAUSE I'M SO SHORT I CAN'T STAND IT. HEELS ALL THE TIME.

> Rick: "I'M SHORT, TOO," COMING FROM BACK THERE. THERE HE IS. YOU HAVE A HAT COLLECTION, A SHOE COLLECTION?

> Hilary: ACTUALLY A SHOE COLLECTION AND HANDBAG COLLECTION. THOSE ARE MY FETISHES.

> Rick: I'M GOING TO DARE ASK THE QUESTION. HOW MANY SHOES DO YOU HAVE?

> Hilary: UM... I THINK I HAVE ABOUT 100 PAIRS OF SHOES. (Cheering) BUT THAT'S LIKE TENNIS SHOES AND WHATEVER, AND I HAVE PEOPLE GIVE ME STUFF ALL THE TIME, BUT I FIND MYSELF WEARING ALL THE SAME STUFF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAVE LOTS TO CHOOSE FROM BUT I ALWAYS GO BACK TO THE SAME THING.

> Rick: THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU WEAR THE SAME THING TWICE.

> Hilary YOU HAVEN'T?

> Rick: HAVE YOU SEEN HER WHERE THE SAME THING TWICE? YOU HAVE A HECK OF A LOT OF CLOTHES.

> Hilary: I DO, BUT I WEAR THE SAME THINGS ALL THE TIME. LOOK AT THESE SHOES. THEY'RE WORN OUT.

> Rick: THEY'RE WORN IN. AND YOU'RE KEEPING WARM HERE?

> A LITTLE COLD. OUTSIDE, I'LL BE LIKE...

> Rick: WE'LL GET YOU SOME SOCKS OR SOMETHING.

> Hilary: WITH THESE? NO THANK YOU.

> Rick: I READ YOU HAVE BEEN VERY EXCITED ABOUT GETTING YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE. HAS THIS FINALLY HAPPENED? CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT IT? ARE YOU STILL WAITING?

> Hilary: IT'S A VERY SENSITIVE SUBJECT. YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GETTING MY LICENSE ON MONDAY-- NOT THIS MONDAY, NEXT MONDAY. NEXT MONDAY, I'LL BE DONE WITH TOUR, AND I GO BACK TO L.A. AND GET MY LICENSE.

> Rick: YOU HAVE TO DO SOME LESSONS AND GO FOR TRAINING--

> Hilary: I HAVE MY PERMIT, HAVE HAD IT FOR SOME TIME-- I'M LIKE THE ONLY 16-YEAR-OLD WHO DOESN'T HAVE THEIR LICENSE, BUT I HAVE TO DO THE SIX HOURS OF DRIVER'S TRAINING AND THEN I CAN GET IT.

> Rick: I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO YOU BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. WHAT'S THE NEXT BIG DAY IN YOUR LIFE YOU'RE REALLY WAITING FOR?

> Hilary: I DON'T KNOW. EVERYTHING HAPPENS SO FAST. I'M TRAVELLING SO MUCH AND WORKING ON THIS AND THAT. I HAVE A COUPLE OF MOVIES COMING OUT THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, BUT THE NEXT BIG DAY, I DON'T KNOW. TO BE IN THE STUDIO RECORDING MY SECOND ALBUM. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

> Rick: COOL. WHEN IS THAT HAPPENING?

> Hilary: I'M TURNING THE ALBUM IN BY JUNE. I HAVE BEEN IN THE STUDIO HERE AND THERE AND HOPEFULLY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS I'LL BE WORKING ON MUSIC AND FINDING STUFF.

> Rick: OKAY. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL BE ASKING QUESTIONS HERE TODAY. THERE'S A BUNCH DOWN HERE. I THINK MARK HAS THE FIRST SHOT AT IT.

> Hilary: HI, MARK. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

> Rick: GO AHEAD, MARK.

> HI, HILARY. I THINK YOU'RE INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE YOUR MOVIES AND I THINK YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL; JUST YOURSELF. ARE THERE ANY PRODUCT-- PROJECTS YOU'LL BE WORKING ON IN THE FUTURE?

> Hilary: THANK YOU. THAT WAS SO SWEET. I HAVE "CINDERELLA STORY" COMING OUT, A MODERN-DAY TWIST OF THE OLD ONE. THAT'S WITH JENNIFER COOLIDGE AND REGINA KING AND CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY. I JUST FINISHED WORKING ON "HEART OF SUMMER," WHICH COMES OUT IN NOVEMBER, AND I THINK THE NAME WILL BE CHANGED BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T REALLY WORK, HEART OF SUMMER AND NOVEMBER. AND THEN I'LL BE FILMING IN TORONTO. IT WILL BE STARTING AT THE END OF APRIL. VERY SOON I'LL BE BACK.

> Rick: THAT'S AWESOME. ALSO QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE TAKING FROM THE STREETS FOR YOU. IF YOU WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO ANY OF THE MONITORS THAT WE CAN FIND.

> Hilary: MONITORS?

> Rick: IF WE CAN GET PEOPLE TO DUCK AROUND.

> Hilary: THERE, I SEE IT. (Music)

> I'M ALLISON.

> I'M HANNAH. WE'RE FROM TORONTO. WE WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU ENVY ABOUT A NORMAL 16-YEAR-OLD'S LIFE? (Music)

> Hilary: THAT WAS A GOOD QUESTION ALSO. (Applause and cheering)

> Hilary: I THINK DEFINITELY THERE'S THINGS THAT I ENVY ABOUT NORMAL GIRLS. I'M NOT SAYING I'M NOT NORMAL. I FEEL TOTALLY NORMAL; I KIND OF HAVE A CRAZY JOB. BUT I MISS GOING-- I WAS ACTUALLY AT A CONCERT THE OTHER DAY, PERFORMING AND THERE WERE OTHER BANDS AND STUFF AND I WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO SIT OUT IN THE AUDIENCE AND ROCK OUT WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND. I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT OR GO TO A FOOTBALL GAME. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FUN BECAUSE I'VE NEVER DONE IT, BUT I WISH I COULD.

> Rick: WHICH SHOW WERE YOU AT?

> Hilary: OVER CHRISTMAS, I WAS DOING "JINGLE BALLS" ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND THERE WERE OTHER BANDS THERE.

> Rick: LET'S GET TO A PHONE CALL NEXT. WE HAVE TONS OF QUESTIONS. I BELIEVE IT'S KATLYN-- (Applause and cheering)

> Rick: KATLYN, IF YOU'RE THERE, SAY HELLO. THIS IS HILARY DUFF. WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?

> Caller: OH, MY GOD! I'M FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW. I LOVE YOU! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WAS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?

> Audience: OH!

> Hilary: OH, MY GOSH, I'M TRYING TO THINK. I DO SO MANY STUPID THINGS-- OH, I HAVE A BAD ONE. TWO MONTHS AGO I HAD A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF AND THERE'S AN ISLAND OUTSIDE CALIFORNIA, CATALINA, AND ME AND MY FRIENDS WERE COMING BACK HOME AND YOU TAKE A BOAT TO GET THERE, ONLY LIKE AN HOUR BOAT RIDE. IT WAS SLIPPERY, WATER ON IT FOR SOME REASON AND I'M LIKE ROLLING MY BAG AND THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT KNEW WHO I WAS AND THEY WERE STARING AT ME AND STUFF AND I WAS TRYING TO SMILE AND WAVE OR WHATEVER AND NOT DO SOMETHING TOO STUPID AND I'M WALKING OFF THE THING AND THERE'S THESE LIKE-- WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM, BUMPS, THINGS SO YOU DON'T SLIP--

> Rick: TRACTION?

> Hilary: YEAH, TRACTION, AND I LOOKED OVER AND SMILED SOMEONE AND I TOTALLY SLIPPED, DROPPED MY BAG AND I ROLLED DOWN THE THING. IT WAS SO BAD, YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND. MY FRIEND KNOCKED OVER THIS LITTLE SIX-YEAR-OLD. IT WAS TERRIBLE, SO SAD: ... ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT ME, GIVING ME THIS DIRTY LOOK. IT WAS REALLY SAD.

> Rick: SO WHAT DOES HILARY DUFF DO WHEN SHE WIPES OUT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE? DOES SHE GET UP AND GO ON WITH THINGS?

> Hilary: MY SISTER LOOKED AT ME, WAS SO STUPID. I GOT UP AND BRUSHED OFF. I WAS SO DIRTY, TOO. I WAS LIKE SO EMBARRASSED. IT WAS BAD, RICK. IT WAS BAD!

> Rick: IT SOUNDS BAD. WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE FALLING DOWN STAIRS OR SOMETHING. KATLYN, HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THAT. AN E-MAIL: "AWHILE AGO YOU WERE INVITED TO HOST A CHARITY EVENT IN NEW YORK CITY CALLED "SAY YES FOR THE CHILDREN," AND NELSON MANDELA WAS THERE. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE AND WHAT OTHER CHARITIES ARE YOU INVOLVED IN?" THAT'S FROM BREN NA IN NELSON.

> Hilary: I WAS SO NERVOUS BECAUSE I GET KIND OF-- IF I HAVE TO DO SPEECHES AND STUFF, I ALWAYS AM AFRAID I'LL FORGET AND LOOK BAD, THAT I'LL BE LIKE "UH, UH, UH..." SO I HAD ALL THIS DIALOGUE AND NELSON MANDELA AND KOFI ANNAN AND HUNDREDS OF HEADS OF STATE AND IT WAS A CAMPAIGN TO LET PEOPLE LISTEN TO CHILDREN'S VOICES, TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY KNOW STUFF, TOO. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT. I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO DO THAT. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN TOWN DOING SOME CHARITY AND I HAVE A CONCERT IN-- HAMILTON? TOMORROW FOR CHARITY.

> Rick: THAT'S RIGHT.

> Hilary: IT'S KIDS WITH A CAUSE AND IT'S A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION AND IT'S GREAT.

> Rick: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. ARE YOU READY TO GO OUTSIDE? THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HOURS. LET'S DO IT. WATCH YOUR STEP HERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO WIPE OUT AGAIN.

> Hilary: (Laughing) HI, GUYS. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

> Rick: IT'S HILARY DUFF. (Applause and screaming)

> Rick: THEY'RE ACROSS THE STREET AS WELL. THEY HAVE COME OUT-- THERE'S HUNDREDS OF THEM. I BELIEVE IT'S DANIEL THAT HAS A QUESTION. IF YOU GUYS WANT TO KEEP IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

> Hilary: HOW ARE YOU DOING?

> Rick:-- SO HILARY CAN HEAR THE QUESTION. DANIEL, GO AHEAD. WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.

> HI, HILARY. YOU'RE LOOKING REALLY GREAT. IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. DO YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING INFLUENCED BY OTHER TEEN IDOLS SUCH AS BRITNEY SPEARS OR CHRISTINA AGUILERA?

> Hilary: YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT-- ONE THING THAT'S FUNNY ABOUT ME IS THAT EVEN SINCE I WAS LITTLE, I NEVER REALLY LOOKED UP TO SOMEBODY THAT WAS IN THE BUSINESS. I NEVER SAID, "I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE THEM. I WANT TO BE LIKE MYSELF." AND I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO THAT, TOO. I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS AND CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND THINK THEY'RE REALLY GREAT.

> Rick: GOOD QUESTION, DANIEL. I THINK THEY HEARD WHAT YOU SAID.

> Hilary: I HOPE SO. COULD YOU GUYS HEAR ME? (Screaming)

> Rick: CAN YOU TAKE THAT? WE'RE COMING BACK WITH MORE WITH HILARY DUFF "LIVE@Much." COME ON BACK. (Music) (Applause and screaming)

> Rick: YES, SIRREE! YOU'RE BACK WITH A "LIVE@Much" WITH HILARY DUFF. MORE QUESTIONS TO COME. CHECK IT OUT! THAT'S THE SHIRT FROM THE VIDEO THERE. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

> ALEX.

> Rick: THAT'S A COOL SHIRT, FROM THE "SO YESTERDAY" VIDEO. IS THAT THE ACTUAL SHIRT FROM THE VIDEO?

> I WISH!

> Rick: YOU WANT TO HEAR SOME MUSIC?

> YEAH.

> Rick: MAKE SOME NOISE. MORE LIVE MUSIC, HILARY DUFF. TAKE IT AWAY! (Screaming) \M Yeah, yeah, yeah \M \M (Applause and screaming)

> Rick: KEEP IT GOING, EVERYBODY. MAKE SOME NOISE, MAKE SOME NOISE! THE BAND IS AWESOME!

> Hilary: THEY ARE AWESOME.

> Rick: ARE THEY TRIPLETS OVER THERE?

> Hilary: WHAT'S THAT?

> Rick: THE BACKUP SINGERS. ARE THEY TRIPLETS?

> Hilary: YEAH, CAN YOU TELL? BAILEY, ABBY AND RACHEL.

> Rick: MORE AFTER THE BREAK AS HILARY DUFF "LIVE@Much" CONTINUES. MAKE SOME NOISE, EVERYBODY. (Applause and cheering) (Music) (Applause and screaming) \M Think you're going nowhere... \M \M

> Rick: YES, SIR, YOU'RE BACK WITH A "LIVE@Much" WITH HILARY DUFF. GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE. OH, ARE YOU MISSING A MICROPHONE? UH-OH!

> Hilary: WE CAN SHARE.

> Rick: I THINK BRUCE HAS IT RIGHT HERE. BRUCE HAS SOMETHING IN HIS POCKET, OR MANNY. AND THERE'S A SHARPIE. THAT'S WEIRD! SPEAKING OF THE TRIPLETS, WE WERE BEFORE THE BREAK, I BELIEVE ONE OF THEM HAS A CRUSH ON OUR FLOOR DIRECTOR BRUCE OVER HERE.

> Hilary: OOH, WHICH ONE IS THAT?

> Rick: I THINK IT COULD BE BAILEY. IS THERE A BAILEY BACK THERE? I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS. YOU REMEMBER BRUCE, YOU MET HIM IN THE HALLWAY. YOU TURNED AND WENT "OH..." SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

> Hilary: I'LL GET THE SCOOP LATER.

> Rick: THEY'RE SO CUTE. IS IT HARD TO BALANCE BOTH THE PUBLIC LIFE AND YOUR PRIVATE LIFE?

> Hilary: SOMETIMES, YEAH. I MEAN-- IT IS. IT IS. I WON'T LIE.

> Rick: HOW DO YOU DO IT?

> Hilary: UM, I DON'T KNOW. IT'S SUCH A HARD QUESTION BECAUSE IT ALL KIND OF MIXES TOGETHER NOW. IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A TIME WHERE-- I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE THERE'S NO SEPARATION NOW; IT'S ALL ONE.

> Rick: IT BLENDS TOGETHER NOW SINCE YOU'RE SO POPULAR.

> Hilary: IT'S A GOOD THING AND IT'S A BAD THING. (Inaudible comment from audience)

> Hilary: THANK YOU. THAT'S WHY IT'S A GOOD THING.

> Rick: IT'S WHEN THEY START YELLING, "I HATE YOU," THAT'S A BAD THING.

> Hilary: WHEN THEY'RE YELLING, "I HATE YOU; GET OFF THE STAGE," THAT'S A BAD THING!

> Rick: WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE MONITOR.

> HI, I'M KYRA.

> AND I'M STARLA.

> WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE PRINCE HARRY THING.

> HAS HE BEEN CALLING YOU? IE THE AUDIENCE: AW!!

> Rick: WOW!

> Hilary: IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I READ THINGS ABOUT MYSELF ALL THE TIME THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW. "REALLY? I DID THAT? THIS HAPPENED?" I NEVER MET PRINCE-- HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO I AM. HE'S LIKE A PRINCE. NO WAY! I DON'T HAVE HIS NUMBER; HE DOESN'T HAVE MY NUMBER.

> Rick: BUT YOU'RE HILARY DUFF.

> Hilary: HE'S PRINCE HARRY!

> Rick: THAT'S NOTHING. YOU'RE LIKE PRINCESS DUFF. IN A WAY, IT'S TRUE. (Cheering and applause)

> Rick: THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY CONVERSATION?

> Hilary: NEVER. THAT WOULD BE COOL, THOUGH. I WOULDN'T COME PLAIN.

> Rick: WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION--

> Hilary: SHUT UP!

> Rick: OW! SHE KICKED ME WITH THE HIGH HEELS.

> Hilary: ARE YOU SERIOUS?

> Rick: NO, JUST KIDDING. THIS LOVE TRIANGLE WITH LINDSEY AND AARON AND YOURSELF... IS THAT-- EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW. IS THAT CLEARED UP? IS IT BEHIND YOU? YOU MOVING FORWARD FROM THAT?

> Hilary: I DATED AARON THREE YEARS AGO, A LONG TIME AGO. AFTER WE STOPPED DATING, SHE DATED HIM. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T WANT TO START ANYTHING BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE WASTING THE ENERGY AND SHE SAYS THINGS-- IF YOU READ THE INTERVIEWS, IT'S HER SAYING IT, NOT ME. I HAVE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW-- (Inaudible comment from the audience)

> Rick: (Laughing)

> Hilary: SOMETIMES-- SOMETIMES SHE SAYS WE'RE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS AND SOMETIMES SHE SAYS I'M JEALOUS OF HER. I DON'T KNOW. I JUST WISH IT WOULD STOP. (More inaudible comments)

> Rick: ON BEHALF OF THE GUYS WATCHING AND THE GUYS DOWN HERE, ARE YOU DATING ANYONE NOW-- (Cheering and applause from audience)

> Rick: SHOULD I NOT GO THERE? I DON'T KNOW.

> Hilary: (Laughing) I DO HAVE A BOYFRIEND RIGHT NOW. (Cheering) I HATE YOU, RICK!

> Rick: NO! DID YOU HEAR THE BOOS BACK THERE FROM THE GUYS.

> Hilary: SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY... WE HAVE BEEN DATING LIKE TWO MONTHS, SINCE CHRISTMAS, AND I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR AWHILE AND THAT'S IT. THE THING THAT'S COOL IS-- IT'S NOT LIKE SUPER 100% SERIOUS AND HE'S REALLY UNDERSTANDING ABOUT MY WORK AND STUFF.

> Rick: IS HE IN THE PUBLIC EYE AS WELL?

> Hilary: NO! NO!

> Rick: IS THAT A GOOD THING? IS THAT THE WAY YOU WANTED IT?

> Hilary: I WANT A NORMAL GUY. I WANTED TO DATE A NORMAL GUY, NOBODY IN THE BUSINESS. IT GETS COMPLICATED.

> Rick: "NORMAL" MEANING NOT IN THE BUSINESS. YOU CAN MEET NORMAL PEOPLE IN THE BUSINESS.

> Hilary: I DON'T MEAN NEVER BUT RIGHT NOW, NOT IN THE BUSINESS.

> Rick: DON'T KICK ME, WHATEVER YOU DO.

> Hilary: HE'S SCARED OF MY SHOES.

> Rick: I HAVE BEEN IN THE ON-LINE DIARIES OF YOURS AND THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON WITH YOU, THE ACTING, TRAVELLING, PROJECTS, THE PEOPLE THAT WANT YOU. IT'S EXHAUSTING JUST FOR ME READING THAT. HOW DO YOU-- IT'S A TOUGH SCHEDULE THAT YOU HAVE; IT'S A DEMANDING SCHEDULE.

> Hilary: IT'S REALLY TOUGH.

> Rick: HOW DO YOU DO IT ALL?

> Hilary: I DON'T KNOW. I HAVE A GREAT TEAM AROUND ME. YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY THAT IS THERE AND THAT TRAVELS WITH ME, THEY ALL SCHEDULE STUFF OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE SOME TIME OFF AND I DO WORK REALLY HARD AND I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT I GET IN RETURN. I HAVE A LOT OF FUN, BUT IT IS WORK SO: ...

> Rick: YOU HAVE TO BE PASSIONATE ABOUT SOMETHING IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT THAT MUCH INTO IT.

> Hilary: SOMETIMES I'M SO EXHAUSTED AND HAVE DONE LIKE 25 MILLION THINGS IN A DAY AND I COME HOME AND I'M LIKE, "WHY DO I DO THIS? I HATE IT!" AND THEN I HAVE TWO DAYS OFF AND I'M LIKE "I WANT TO WORK!"

> Rick: GOOD FOR YOU. ANOTHER AUDIENCE QUESTION. THAT'S DANIELLE.

> Hilary: SHE'S DECKED OUT IN MY STUFF.

> Rick: IT LOOKS COMFORTABLE.

> I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'RE DOING ANY COLLABORATIONS WITH YOUR SISTER OR IF SHE'S DOING SOLO STUFF. IF YOU WOULD SAY HI TO MY SISTER. SHE COULDN'T BE HERE BECAUSE SHE'S TOO YOUNG.

> Hilary: WHAT'S HER NAME?

> CASEY.

> Hilary: HI, CASEY. SORRY YOU COULDN'T COME. MAYBE NEXT TIME. SHE'S SUCH AN AMAZING WRITER AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM BUT IT'S GREAT. HOPEFULLY I'LL HAVE MORE SONGS ON THE ALBUM, A COLLABORATION, AND THIS SUMMER, SHE'LL BE OPENING FOR ME, HOPEFULLY A DUET.

> Rick: THAT'S COOL, VERY COOL. WHAT HAS YOUR SISTER TAUGHT YOU ALONG THE WAY?

> Hilary: EXCUSE ME?

> Rick: WHAT HATS SHE TAUGHT YOU ALONG THE WAY, YOUR SISTER?

> Hilary: SHE'S THE BIGGEST INSPIRATION. WE'RE BEST FRIENDS AND SHE'S THREE YEARS OLDER THAN ME. SHE WANTED TO BE AN ACTRESS AND SO I WANTED TO BE AN ACTRESS. SHE WANT TO BE A SINGER, SO I WANTED TO BE A SINGER. SHE'S A COOL PERSON, ARTSY AND CREATIVE. I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD LOVE HER. SHE'S REALLY SWEET. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, TOO. (Applause and cheering)

> Rick: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THE TURNING POINT HAS BEEN FOR YOU FROM HILARY DUFF, THE NORMAL KID, TO HILARY DUFF, THIS WORLDWIDE CELEBRITY? WAS THERE ONE SPECIFIC THING THAT YOU DID THAT YOU THINK TURNED--

> From outside: COME OUTSIDE! COME OUTSIDE!

> Hilary: WE'LL BE THERE SOON.

> Rick: WE'LL BE RIGHT OUT. OH, THEY'RE GETTING ANTSY. THERE'S MORE ON JOHN STREET, TOO. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THEM: ... WE CAN TAKE LIKE A JOG AROUND THE BUILDING AND YOU CAN SEE EVERYBODY, IF YOU WANT. I'M SURE THEY'RE SURROUNDING THE WHOLE BUILDING.

> Hilary: OKAY. THERE WAS ONE TURNING POINT-- I USED TO GET REALLY NERVOUS. I HAD A TV SHOW AND IT WAS EXCITING AND FUN, AND THEN I DECIDED I WANTED TO BE A SINGER AND I KNEW PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE, "OH, SHE CAN'T SING! IT'S SUCH A JOKE." I WAS REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT THAT. WHEN THE ALBUM STARTED SELLING SO WELL AND YOU GUYS WERE SUPPORTING IT SO MUCH, THAT WAS THE BIG TURNING POINT. AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO CONCERTS AND STUFF, I WOULD SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE OUT THERE AND THEY WOULD BE SINGING MY SONGS BACK TO ME. IT WAS JUST CRAZY. I HAD SO MUCH FUN. THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOSH!"

> Rick: THAT MUST BE THE COOLEST THING FOR AN ARTIST, TO PERFORM LIVE AND HAVE PEOPLE WHO COME TO SEE YOU SINGING LINES OF YOUR SONGS.

> Hilary: I THINK SO. WORK ANYTHING THE STUDIO IS FUN, BUT BEING ON STAGE, IT'S SO PERSONAL AND YOU HAVE A CONNECTION WITH THE PEOPLE AND THE MUSIC. IT'S REALLY COOL. YOU SAY, "PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR," AND THEY ALL PUT THEIR HANDS IN THE AIR. IT'S REALLY COOL.

> Rick: SAY IT NOW.

> Hilary: PUT YOUR HANDS UP! (Applause and cheering) SEE, IT WORKS.

> Rick: CAN I TRY THAT? GET THOSE HANDS UP! (Cheering)

> Rick: YOU DIDN'T PUT YOUR HANDS UP OVER THERE.

> Hilary: THEY WERE KIDDING. THEY WANTED TO.

> Rick: YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE NAYSAYERS EARLIER, THE PEOPLE THAT TRY AND KNOCK YOU. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THEM IN RESPONSE--

> From outside: COME OUTSIDE! COME OUTSIDE!

> Rick: DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSE OR DO YOU JUST IGNORE THEM?

> Hilary: THE PEOPLE THAT TALK BAD ABOUT ME AND STUFF LIKE THAT? IT USED TO REALLY GET TO ME. "IF THEY KNEW ME, I THINK THEY WOULD LIKE ME," BUT EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN MUSIC OR MOVIES OR WHAT THEY WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK LIKE AND SOMETIMES IF I DON'T DRESS A CERTAIN WAY OR DO A CERTAIN KIND OF MOVIE OR MUSIC, THEY DON'T LIKE ME. BUT IT'S COOL. I HAVE THINGS I DON'T LIKE AND PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES AND I CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY. IF I HAVE FIVE PEOPLE THAT LIKE ME AND FIVE THAT DON'T LIKE ME, I'M HAPPY.

> Rick: YOU'VE GOT A GREAT ATTITUDE FOR THIS BUSINESS THAT YOU'RE IN.

> Hilary: THANK YOU.

> Rick: IT'S A GREAT ATTITUDE. I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OUTSIDE SOON, SO HANG IN THERE-- (Screaming) THE GUY'S WAVING THE MICROPHONE. JUST DON'T HIT ME WITH THAT THING! BUT FIRST IT'S A PHONE QUESTION. 9 IS IT ELENA?

> Caller: YES.

> Hilary: HI, ELENA.

> Caller: HI. I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO SAY THAT I ENJOY YOUR MUSIC AND YOU'RE A TRUE INSPIRATION. MY QUESTION IS DO YOU FEEL THAT YOUR SUCCESS AT A YOUNG AGE WILL HURT OR HELP YOUR FUTURE AND HOW?

> Hilary: FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR THE FIRST COMMENT.

> Caller: THANK YOU.

> Hilary: AND IT ALL DEPENDS. I AM 16 AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO DO A LOT OF THINGS AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, IF I WANT TO I'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP WORKING AND KEEP DOING WHAT I LOVE TO DO AND IF NOT, HOPEFULLY I WON'T BE LIKE A BITTER, ANGRY PERSON. I HOPE THAT-- I HAVE SO MUCH FUN RIGHT NOW. IF IT ALL HAD TO STOP TOMORROW, I THINK I COULD GO BACK TO BEING A NORMAL PERSON, HAVE A NORMAL LIFE. BUT HOPEFULLY THAT WON'T HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON.

> Rick: IF THIS IS ANY INDICATION, THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME OUT TO SEE YOU TONIGHT, I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE HAPPENING ANY TIME SOON. THEY LOVE YOU.

> Hilary: I HOPE NOT.

> Rick: THANK YOU, ELENA. GOOD QUESTION. NICE ANSWER. ANOTHER E-MAIL, FROM SAYDY: "HEY, WHAT'S UP? ME AND MY SISTER ARE BIG FANS OF YOU. MY QUESTION IS WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP, WHO WERE YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCES?" (Loud chanting from outside) THEY'RE GETTING LOUD!

> Hilary: WE'LL BE OUT SOON. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, IT WAS REALLY FUNNY BECAUSE-- (Continued chanting from outside)

> Rick: WHICH SIDE WILL BE LOUDER TONIGHT? QUEEN STREET OR JOHN STREET?

> Hilary: I DON'T KNOW. I THINK GROWING UP-- I GREW UP IN TEXAS, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I WAS NEVER INTO MUSIC UNTIL MY SISTER-- UNTIL WE GOT A LITTLE OLDER, AND THEN I HAVE TO ADMIT FOR AWHILE IT WAS ALL ABOUT HANSON AND THE SPICE GIRLS, BUT NOW MY MUSIC HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. MY MOM USED TO ACTUALLY MAKE ME LISTEN TO BOB DYLAN, JANIS JOPLIN, THE EAGLES, CAROL KING AND I WAS LIKE "NO!" BUT NOW I LIKE IT.

> Rick: WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO THESE DAYS, A CATCH-ALL?

> Hilary: A CATCH-ALL. I LOVE BLINK-182, SIMPLE PLAN, GOOD CHARLOTTE... BRITNEY SPEARS... (Cheering)

> Rick: I'M SURE DAVE AND THE GUYS AT SIMPLE PLAN ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.

> Hilary: HI, GUYS.

> Rick: DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK OUT?

> Hilary: SURE, WHY NOT? WE HAVE TO GO TO THIS SIDE.

> Rick: LET'S GO THIS WAY RIGHT NOW. I'LL HELP YOU DOWN IF YOU NEED A HAND. AND THEN MAYBE LATER WE CAN GO OUT THE OTHER SIDE. WE'LL GO HERE FOR NOW.

> Hilary: HI, GUYS.

> Rick: WE'RE BACK. (Loud screaming)

> Hilary: HI.

> Rick: LOOK AT THE PICTURE!

> Hilary: IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

> Rick: THE SIGNS AND POSTERS AND CAMERAS!

> Hilary: THANK YOU FOR MAKING ALL THE POSTERS AND STUFF. THANK YOU.

> Rick: IT'S LIKE THE W.W.E. OUT HERE, ALL THE POSTERS AND EVERYTHING. KEEP IT DOWN JUST A BIT. WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM MATT, IF YOU'RE READY WITH THE QUESTION. JUST KEEP IT DOWN, GUYS.

> ON YOUR FREE TIME, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?

> Hilary: EXCUSE ME?

> ON YOUR SPARE TIME, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?

> Hilary: OH, MY GOSH. I LIKE TO DO LOTS OF THINGS. I DO NORMAL THINGS: HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS, GO ON VACATION. I LIKE TO GO TO THE BEACH, HANG OUT AT RESTAURANTS, COFFEE SHOPS, EVERYTHING.

> Rick: WE DON'T HAVE MANY BEACHES IN TORONTO WHEN YOU COME BACK TO FILM--

> Hilary: THERE'S NOT MANY BEACHES IN TORONTO...

> Rick: WELL, THERE ARE, BUT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO GO IN THE WATER. WHAT'S THAT? RAIN OR SOMETHING? MORE AFTER THE BREAK. COME ON BACK! \M When I'm in a crowd \M \M \M Let the rain fall down \M \M \M And wake my dreams \M \M (Applause and screaming ((

> Rick: WE'RE BACK WITH A "LIVE@Much" WITH HILARY DUFF. THE SCREAMING AND EVERYTHING DURING THE COMMERCIAL, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO HEAR THAT AT HOME, BUT IN HERE, IT'S VERY PIERCING.

> Hilary: IT'S PIERCING BUT IT'S EXCITING.

> Rick: BEFORE YOU GET TO THE LAST SONG-- I THINK YOU'RE DOING "COME CLEAN," RIGHT?

> Hilary: YES, THE NEW SINGLE.

> Rick: EVERYBODY WANTS TO ASK A QUESTION BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME. I JUST WANTED TO ASK: A GRAMMY OR AN OSCAR, WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER?

> Hilary: THAT'S SUCH A HARD QUESTION. I WANT BOTH! I WANT BOTH! I'LL BE SELFISH, OKAY?

> Rick: THIS GIRL WANTS IT ALL!

> Hilary: ALL RIGHT.

> Rick: THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING BY. IT WAS GREAT HAVING YOU HERE AND PERFORMING AT MuchMusic FOR THE FIRST TIME. DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME?

> Hilary: I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME. I'M REALLY HAPPY. THANK YOU.

> Rick: WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN AND YOU FOR WATCHING. YOUR BAND IS AMAZING AND THE GIRLS, THEY SING BEAUTIFULLY. ARE YOU READY TO DO THE LAST SONG?

> Hilary: LET'S GO!

> Rick: I'M GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE. (Applause and screaming) (Screaming) (Applause and screaming)

> Hilary: THANK YOU! (Continued screaming)
