Oh Paris Hilton, ever since she arrived in the scene things haven’t been easy for her. It’s not like she’s made it easy either. What with her sex tape, her reality show, her flopped album, her pretending to be dumber than she is. And of course all the things that she says. Here are some of the more outrageous ones:

Paris Hilton talking to press about the US chain store: “Wal-Mart… do they like make walls there?”

On her technique on the red carpet: “I don’t really think, I just walk.”

On her fame: “There’s nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde, like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana and, right now, I’m that icon.”

On her career choices: “First wanted to be a veterinarian. And then I realised you had to give them shots to put them to sleep, so I decided I’d just buy a bunch of animals and have them in my house instead.”

On her title: “I don’t want to be known as the Hilton heiress, because I didn’t do anything for that.”

On her music: “The music has a sexy vibe. That’s my brand – what people want from me.”

On durability: “I don’t think there’s ever been anyone like me that’s lasted. And I’m going to keep lasting.”

On charity: “What’s a soup kitchen?”

On being an heiress: “A true heiress is never mean to anyone – except a girl who steals your boyfriend.”

On who she is: “I’m an actress, a brand, a businesswoman. I’m all kinds of stuff.”
