Although she’s appeared in hit movies, starred on a Disney TV show and sold millions of records, Hilary Duff still feels like she has things to prove in showbiz.

Duff says during her time on “Lizzie McGuire,” the show she starred in for two seasons that made her famous, she “got to do so many fun things and be so physical with my comedy. I had no inhibitions. It was fun for me to be goofy.”

“Now I’m a little older and I feel I need to re-learn some of those things. I feel like I still have work to do within things I’ve already dabbled in.”

One recent success she’s had is in the publishing world. Duff’s a best-selling young-adult novelist with her “Elixir” trilogy. The second book, “Devoted,” is now in stores.

Besides writing, 24-year-old Duff is expecting her first child with pro hockey player Mike Comrie. The two married in 2010.

She says she sees fans posting on Twitter that her pregnancy makes them feel old.

“The truth is that I’m very young, and things in my life have happened very fast. I guess, why stop now?”

She doesn’t know if the baby is a boy or a girl, but she plans to find out. She predicts it will be a boy.
