She has sold more than 13 million CDs, made movies, and created a perfume and clothing line. Tonight she brings her tour to the Pacific Coliseum. Buzz Bishop spent 24 seconds with Hilary Duff on the phone from Edmonton. 24hrs interviews teen pop star Hilary Duff in 24 seconds about the pressures of young Hollywood, being focused, family issues, ex-boyfriends and Mike Comrie.

24hrs: What’s it like being young in Hollywood? Are there people dragging you into trouble, or do you have to go and find it?

Hilary: It’s everywhere, it’s really easy to find it. I love L.A. I live there, it’s my home, but it’s really easy to lose yourself in that town. You have to really know what you believe in and stick with it and have good friends.

24hrs: So being focused on yourself and what you want to put out there has kept your head above it?

Hilary: That and my family. I don’t like to live very publicly, like so many people do. I feel like I’ve worked so much as it is, I want privacy.

24hrs: For most of us, running into an ex at the mall would be painful. How is it for you to see your ex (Joel Madden with new girlfriend Nicole Richie) paraded across the tvs and tabloids this week?

Hilary: It’s not really a problem for me to deal with it. I want them to be happy. Joel and I ended on very good terms and we ended knowing that it was the right thing to do and it made us both happy. So it’s not hard for me to see it.
