Hilary Duff says in FHM UK Magazine: “I don’t look at Britney and think that could have been me. Because I’m not like that”

Duff on why she is so well-adjusted: “It’s just who I am as a person. Plus, how my mom handled me. I didn’t get special privileges growing up, and I didn’t get everything that I wanted and I wasn’t the one supporting the family, so I wasn’t like the boss. I think that has a lot to do with it. And then growing up around lots of young people that were so talented or were on the brink of being really talented, and seeing them get involved and not really having anyone around to tell them how to handle it, or what to do.”

Duff on whether she ever looks at Britney and thinks “that could have been me”: I don’t look at them and think “that could have been me” because I’m me and I’m not like that. But you never know why that is. I know that it can be really hard and there’s lots of pressure with everyone watching you. But I don’t think that excuses some behavior.”
