I don't want to be known as the Hilton heiress, because I didn't do anything for that.

I don't want to be known as the granddaughter of the Hiltons. I want to be known as Paris.

I'm the kind of person who, if I see a shooting star, I wouldn't stay there and watch it. I'd run to my friends and tell them because I would want everyone to see it too.

I like it, but it's yellow, and I'm like, I didn't want yellow for my engagement ring.

I'm very intelligent. I'm capable of doing everything put to me. I've launched a perfume and want my own hotel chain. I'm living proof blondes are not stupid.

I'm not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that.
