Want to learn more about Paris Hilton? Maybe one might think there is nothing left to be said about her, but that's not how she sees it. In a very recent interview published in the British 'Sunday Times', the scandalous star takes the time to right our misconstrued opinions we've had so far about her.

Leaving aside all modesty and going for straightforward openness, Miss Hilton says that she is a one-of-a-kind woman, the icon of the 21st century of which all men dream of and women aspire.

In her own words full of wisdom: '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'. Are you fuming yet for her having the nerve to compare herself to the likes of Lady Di?

Paris goes on to say that she is a very busy little bee passing for a business woman, involved in thousands of projects that include bags, fragrances, make-up, movies, a music tour and TV shows. Well, we knew that already so there's no point on dwelling too much on it.

The heiress is totally aware that she is media's favorite subject but, somehow, she overlooks the reasons for which this happens. She is perfectly comfortable with the fact and we all are very happy that she is; otherwise, without her big gaffes, we wouldn't have something so interesting to write about and there would be no more fun left in the world.

'There's nobody in the world who can generate as much as I can for events. They did a poll in the States asking people who they'd most like to see at a party - and it was me. [...] Certain girls [...] have their publicist call the tabloids and make something up, because a feud with Paris Hilton always gets press'.

To top it all, she truly believes that she's smart. Paris says that, in 'The Simple Life', she just plays a character that is nothing like herself. She even knows what a Wal-Mart is! 'I play dumb like Jessica Simpson plays dumb. But we know exactly what we're doing. We're smart blondes'. You bet you are!

In the end, the heiress tells the world that she is very happy about her present life and stands by her earlier decision of not having sex for a whole year; she was too heart-broken about the sex tape incident to trust a man again...

'I love my job, and I think I've earned the right to be happy now. God gives you good karma if you work hard and play nice. [...] I have to make the most of things right now. I'm stuck in the myth, baby'.
