Paris Hilton, 25, sat down with the London Times to talk about the renewed cross-border fighting between Israeli and Hezbollah forces and what she can do to help the peacekeeping effort in Lebanon. Just kidding, of course. She just talked about herself. Below are some excerpts from her interview.
On her legacy:
“I think every decade has an iconic blonde — like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana — and right now, I’m that icon.”
On being busy
“There’s a lot of heiresses out there, and I don’t see any of them doing what I’ve done…I have so many projects — bags, fragrances, make-up. I go round the world every three days, designing and personally approving it all. I’ve got movies to make, a tour, TV shows. Every day of my life is scheduled until the end of 2007.”
On working hard:
“I was having dinner with my grandfather last week, and he said, �You work harder than any CEO I know.’”
On being paid $1 million for a 20-minute appearance at a nightclub:
“There’s nobody who can generate as much as I can for events either. They did a poll in the States asking people who they’d most like to see at a party — and it was me.”
On the rumor that her ex Stavros Niarchos was dating Lindsay Lohan:
“That was crap. She’s never even hung out with Stavros. He thinks she’s pathetic.”
On whether Nicole Richie is just jealous:
“I don’t really want to say that, but … ”
On dating:
“I’m a romantic, and let me tell you, it’s really exhausting being a girlfriend. I’m always putting all my energy into some guy and I’m bored with it. I’m tired of thinking about men.”
On reproducing:
“I definitely want to have children at 30.”
