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

"I went to Wal-Mart for the first time. I always thought they sold wallpaper. I didn't realize it has everything. You can get anything you want there for really, really cheap."

"I think the biggest misconception about me is that I'm this spoiled brat. But I'm not. I'm the total opposite."

"If you have a beautiful face you don't need big fake boobs to get anyone's attention."

"I desperately hate one thing about my body. I have size 11 feet. Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores -- Guccis, YSLs, Manolos. And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes."

"People think I'm stupid. But I'm smarter than most people."

"The Backstreet boys were so ten years ago. Whatever."

No matter what a woman looks like, if she's confident, she's sexy."
