Don’t care a whit: ‘There are many misconceptions about me’

Being labelled as a dumb blonde inspires Paris Hilton

LOS ANGELES: Socialite Paris Hilton feels people have a lot of misconceptions about her, and she loves to prove them wrong. The 35-year-old, who is a businesswoman with her own perfumes, cosmetics line and clothing range, is often labelled as a dumb blonde in Hollywood. However, these misconceptions inspire her to achieve even greater heights.

“I find it really interesting. It makes me laugh because people expect me to walk in and speak like a baby and say, ‘That’s hot,’” Paris said. “A lot of people are very surprised and blown away. I love that. There are so many misconceptions about me. It feels good to prove people wrong. It’s a nice feeling.”

Her eagerness to run a business comes from her father Rick Hilton and grandfather Barron Hilton. “Since a young age, I’ve looked up to my father and grandfather. I always wanted to build my own brand. I want to be known for myself, for Paris. There’s a lot of trust-fund kids who don’t work at all,” added Paris.

Stating that success drives her to achieve her goals, she stated, “I want to do something on my own. Success drives me. It gets me excited. I can’t stop being creative. I love what I do. I’m passionate about my brand.”
