Haylie Duff quotes:

We were never the family that ordered pizza, and my mom never came home with a bucket of fried chicken. My mom always made home-cooked meals. We always sat down at the dinner table as a family.

I have a very small group of friends that I've had - the three of them - for the majority of my life.

I was 12 when I got a small part in a movie in Texas. And in my spare time, I play with my dogs and write music and go out with my friends.

I guess I would be most grateful for my family and my friends and my dogs, my boyfriend. I'm grateful for a lot. I'm grateful to be healthy.

For me when I go in and audition for things, I just let them go as soon as I leave. I can 't take them home with me. That's something that my mom actually taught my sister and me from the time we were kids.

I am a Christian, but I also dont really see myself as a religious person. I see myself as more of a spiritual person.

I like making stories and characters that people can relate to. I also like giving the audience a departure from whatever they're thinking about in their life and enjoying a show or a movie.

I was always a huge fan of Nora Ephron.

There are things that I do agree with in Christianity and things that I dont agree with. Im not a regular churchgoer, but I do think that I have my own beliefs that I feel strongly about.

They think that I am a lot younger than I am. Everyone who meets me is always like, "Oh, are you the youngest sister?" "No, I'm older than Hillary." I think it's just because I have never really played older than myself or even my own age yet.
