Hilary DuffHilary Duff has said she finds it difficult to make friends with her Hollywood contemporaries because everyone feels in competition with each other.

She told Allure recently: “It’s hard to find people who don’t feel like they’re in competition with you.”

The former Lizzie McGuire star specifically recalled a ‘feud’ she had with Avril Lavigne: “I said something about how she didn’t like her fans dressing like her, and how she should appreciate that because it’s a compliment. [But in return] she called me a goody-goody.”

“Everyone is trying to prove who they are, and their position. So, I’m ‘the good girl’. She’s ‘the bad girl’ or ‘the party girl.’ Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t take her clothes off, but she’s not a ‘good girl.’

“[Adult actors] don’t get tagged like we do.”

She added that too much was made about her falling out with Lindsay Lohan back in the day: “Supposedly, I stole Lindsay Lohan’s boyfriend [Aaron Carter]. We were, like, 13! And I’ve never stolen anyone’s boyfriend! I don’t know how you do that!”

“She was talking about it and I wasn’t. It made us both look bad and put up a big weirdness. Really she was just a girl my age. We are fine now, by the way.”
