It's traditional for an heiress to be raised in a sheltered way. No one thinks that's true of me, but it actually was.

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.

People just - they don't really know me. They see me on "The Simple Life," they think that's really who I am.

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.

Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins.

I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun.

It hurts that, you know, the media's made me into sort of this like punching bag or cartoon character-they think that I don't have any feelings, and, you know, it hurts like anyone else.
