American socialite, singer, actress, and author Paris Hilton was born February 17, 1981 in New York City. She is heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune.

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




• "Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything."




• "I'm totally normal. I think it's obnoxious when people demand limos or bodyguards. I eat at McDonald's or Taco Bell. My parents always taught us to be humble. We're not spoiled."




• "I'm a brand, an entertainer. The brand Paris Hilton is like a fantasy life. I think people think of me as like an American princess fantasy. I want to be an icon. It's just something I always wanted to be. Madonna is an icon and just amazing. The color of my eyes is part of the image I want."
  
  
  
• "I'm an actress, a brand, a businesswoman. I'm all kinds of stuff."




• "I take my dog Tinkerbell seriously. I take my job seriously. But I don't take myself all that seriously."




• "Wal-mart... do they like make walls there?"




• "I don't really read anything on the Internet except my AOL mail. I don't like people who sit on computers all day long and write about people they don't know anything about."




• "All British people have plain names, and that works pretty well over there."




• "I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I'll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don't taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me."





• "People are going to judge me: "Paris Hilton, she uses money to get what she wants." Whatever, I haven't accepted money from my parents since I was 18. I've worked my ass off. I have things no heiress has. I've done it all on my own, like a hustler.">
