When I was young, my mom or sister used to have to point out if someone was using me to make a name for themselves you know, linking arms with me on the red carpet and trying to get in every picture. But now I can see for myself when someone is just hungry for attention.” PeopleIfsKnowsTryingI CanPastYoungUsedNamesAttentionArmsMomRedMy MomHungryCarpetPublicityMy PastRed CarpetUsing Me Author:Paris Hilton
“You know, people see [August: Osage County], and I tell them that it's based on my family, and they assume that I came from some kind of horrible, hysterical circumstances. That's not true. My family, my nuclear family, was actually very close. My mom and dad were great parents and they encouraged a real rich, creative life for me and my brothers.
