Paris

“I've read this memoir cover to cover, and I can honestly tell you it is one of the most authentic, open, genuine accounts that allows someone to reclaim their narrative, and I recommend you read it as well.”

“Paris' new book is out now. It's called Paris: The Memoir. I literally just finished reading it and today we have Paris Hilton in the studio.”

“Her new book is out now; it's called Paris: The Memoir.”

“You know, whenever I sit down with someone who's written a memoir, I want everyone listening to really understand this because I think people see memoirs coming out and they see books being released, and you kind of think, "Oh yeah, someone's just telling their story."”

“I think the other thing, before we dive in, I wanted to mention, which I loved about your memoir, is you were so phenomenally observant.”

“But one line that really captivated me in your book was, 'Everyone was under the spell of love and money.'”

“I think you said in the book, or you've mentioned before when asked about self-esteem, and I really want to talk about the things that happened in your teenage years, but I think self-esteem is such a big topic in the world today, especially because of social media and so much self-judgment and self-criticism.”

“Because I feel like most of us find it so much easier to pretend, and we hide behind it, but I feel like you claiming your narrative back in this book was almost saying, 'I’m not going to let what happened to me define my self-esteem.'”

“You mentioned that your parents kind of caught you, and of course, the book goes into much more depth—I’m just synthesizing it for the question—but you didn't want to talk about it with them, and they didn’t talk about it with you.”

“I was noticing it when I was making notes: shame and embarrassment are these constant themes in your book, and it's so interesting because all of us in our lives always feel embarrassed for someone else.”

“Would you say that this time, when you're sharing the book, you felt that people have really received it well through the book as opposed to other ways, or do you still find that there's some judgment?”

“I think in the book you talk about a point where you're like, 'Every room I go into, I know what people have seen or what they know.'”

“I think you mentioned in your book that when you started helping others and doing this work to change laws so that people won't end up there in the first place, that's when you started healing.”

“At one point in your book, you discuss the reputation you developed in the media, like being portrayed as someone who sleeps around and is always with numerous men.”

“You've had a complex relationship with your own family, as you discuss in your book.”

“You talk about the book multiple times, about how you're happy you partied.”

“You said in your documentary that you don't believe you will be truly happy until you have one billion dollars.”

“One of the things that really struck me in your book, and I'm happy to hear about that shift in your goal; that's beautiful.”

“You said the only way you got through the school—specifically, you're talking about the school at that time—but assuming pretty much everything in your teens and the things you went through in your twenties, you said I created a future world, a future self, and a future life without boundaries.”

“One of the things that hit me was, like, you know, you felt good things happening in a row before, and then you know specifically in the example when you're talking about The Simple Life coming out.”

“You talk about all of this in the book, and I'm thinking you're just feeling like you've gotten through the tough time, your life's on track, and then all of a sudden, it's like this something goes back in your face again.”

“And I think this book, which I encourage everyone listening to read, I really do, because I think when we see things in the news, they're very different from when you see it from the viewpoint of the person going through it.”

“I want everyone out there who's listening and watching to go and grab a copy of the book, Paris: The Memoir. Give it to a friend who's gone through something or you might know they've gone through through something and they're not sure how to process it and they're thinking about it, they're struggling with it.”

“And I want everyone out there who's listening and watching to go and grab a copy of the book, Paris: The Memoir.”

“Wow, up until a couple of weeks ago when she read my book.”

“That was another thing in my book that I had never told anyone; after that happened, I never said it out loud again and just tried to forget it.”

“Yeah, it was something I held on to until I wrote it in my book because I know that it has happened to so many other people.”

“and so I read Paris Hilton's Memoir this year oh wow I had to read a book that is coming out and has a lot of Buzz and so that was a category so I read Paris Hilton's Memoir”

“but there are books I read now that I would never have read before like I read Paris Hilton's Memoir this year”
