"I don't want to be known as the granddaughter

You can get anything you want there for really, really cheap."

"If you have a beautiful face you don't need
big fake boobs to get anyone's attention."
"I desperately hate one thing about my body.
I have size 11 feet. Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super

bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes."

most people."

Whatever."

confident, she's sexy."

And not many people know this, but my sister is one of the funniest
people you'll ever meet."
"I thought it was cute to play a dumb blonde.
On TV, I do it because it's funny. I consider myself a businesswoman
and a brand. I don't enjoy going out anymore. It's such a pain.
It's everyone saying, 'Let's do a deal! Can I have a picture?' I'm
just, like, 'These people are such losers. I can't believe I used
to love doing this.'" - Newsweek interview, June 2005
