Hilary Duff Likes Being Called A "Good Girl"

Hilary Duff is happy to be called a "good girl". The 'Lizzie McGuire' star has no desire to misbehave in a bid for people to change their perceptions of her.

She said: "I know people think I'm a good girl and I'm not going to fight it and be like, 'I'm not, I'm bad.'"

"I don't really care that people think that. I'd rather them think that than think I'm like everyone else."

The 20-year-old actress has also revealed her idol is Natalie Portman, because the 'Closer' star concentrates on her career rather than chasing fame.

Hilary added to OK! magazine: "Everybody makes mistakes, but I just don't think it's for everybody to watch. It comes down to that I want people to focus on my work and I want to have my life completely separate from that."

"I love Natalie Portman so much because people don't look at her as a good girl but they look at her and she's a respected actress. Who knows what she does in her personal life?"
