Hilary Duff: "I Had a Good Childhood"  6/6/07

Hilary Duff is adamant she didn't lose out on a 'proper childhood' - because she now has everything she needs.

The singer/actress came to prominence at the age of 13, when she starred in kid's TV series Lizzie McGuire.

But Duff insists she wouldn't change her time in the limelight as she's experienced so much as a famous teen.

She says, "I wonder what life would have been like to have a different life.

"I sometimes wish I wasn't always watched or didn't have to worry about been seen somewhere. But I've experienced things other girls haven't. I've traveled, I'm financially independent, I own a beautiful home and I'm happy with my job. I don't have to struggle with the questions a lot of other women do."
