'It's been fun'

"It's really hard to put words to it because there's a familiarity there, and then there's also the pressure of who she is now and what has changed and what is still the same.

''When I was younger, I don't think I was putting a lot of effort into creating a role that was Lizzie McGuire. I think Lizzie McGuire was who I was at that time. I'm trying to use a little piece of that. Also, I think she has a little more confidence than Lizzie McGuire did when she was 12. She's made a pretty cool life for herself. It's been fun," Duff told Elle magazine.

Reboot to feel fresh and nostalgic

The original show ran from 2001 to 2004 and the actor hopes the reboot will feel both fresh and nostalgic. ''Everyone knows the family's coming back. I filmed with them all this week, and it's a trip, it's crazy. ''We want the show to be able to stand alone and not be just a full extension of the one that was almost over 15 years ago. We want it to feel fresh but also serve up some nostalgia.''
