Hilary Duff spent much of her child and teenage years on film and TV sets rather than in school.

In a new interview on Jessie Ware and her mom Lennie's Table Manners podcast, the "Mature" singer-songwriter, 38, opened up about not getting a traditional education as a young entertainer.

"[I received] zero education, but I know a lot about a lot of things," said Duff.

Jessie, 41, asked if the Lizzie McGuire alum was homeschooled. She winced in response and said, “My mom was like, can you just go get your GED?”

Duff didn't ultimately get her GED, but she's "happy" with her level of education these days. "I feel like I educated myself on my own of different things I was interested in," she said.

"I love to read," continued the musician. "I mean, I don't have as much time as I would like to read, but I really enjoy reading."

Lennie then asked if Duff would want to return to school as an adult. "I think I'm past the window of caring that my education wasn't great because I feel like I got strengths in other areas, and it kind of helps," said the "Roommates" artist. "And I'm not shy to ask a question about something."

Duff added, "I know that my life was different than most, and I don't need to be embarrassed that I don't know when, like, a certain war took place. There's Google for that and ChatGPT."
