HW: What’s the pressure like having so much media attention and being a role model to so many young fans?
HD: It’s a really big compliment. It’s kind of daunting when I think about it. All of the attention on you is bigger than it ever was. [Incredulously] And the way people look at celebrities? To some extent, I wouldn’t have any of this [opportunity] if it weren’t for all of that attention. It attracts so many fans--but, it’s hard to ignore a lot of the [bad] things that are said and [just] live your life the way you want to live your life. It is an exciting time and I get to work hard and do the things I love and travel around and have people look up to me--and hopefully do positive things for people and set a good example. There’s so much that tries to get in the way of that, that it’s hard to keep a sane head sometimes!
