Hilary Duff is reflecting on being so “done” playing Lizzie McGuire after the 2003 movie concluded the two-season Disney Channel show that made her a star.

“The Lizzie McGuire Movie” features the now-iconic “What Dreams Are Made Of,” which Duff re-recorded for her 2026 “(Mine)” EP and sang live for the first time on the “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” Tour this year.

“I was pretty done with Lizzie at that time,” Duff said in a recent interview with Paper magazine about filming the movie. “I had filmed 30 episodes one year and 35 episodes the next. I turned into a huge star. Everyone called me Lizzie. And then I went to Italy to film that movie, and I think I was just like, ‘I’m fucking done with you.’ I want people to see me. This isn’t fun anymore.”
