Pop star Hilary Duff claimed she has never had a problem with her weight, but felt "there is too much pressure to be thin," media reported on Tuesday.

The 19-year-old actress and singer has attracted attention with her recent weight loss and blames the media for her self-consciousness.

She said, "If you don't like the way you look or feel insecure, when people say things about you - in magazines or just in everyday life - they can be hurtful."

"You'll never make them happy," she added.

Duff, who has sold more than 13 million albums worldwide, has a new album out April 3 called "Dignity." Several of the songs are about her relationship with her now ex-boyfriend, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, but she denies that she slammed his new newest flame, Nicole Richie, in her tune "Gypsy Woman."
