“In these trying economic times, I believe the White House should have a minimalist touch: open floor plan, glass and steel, throw pillows, and an infinity pool.”

I always knew I had a voice and I’ve always known I could sing, but I was too shy to let it come out. I think it’s the hardest thing to do, to sing in front of people. When I finally let go and did it, I realized it’s what I’m most talented at and what I love to do the most.

Never give up on the things that make you smile.

It’s good to just smile and go on with your day.

I didn’t want to be like all these socialites – they sit at home, and go to the debutant ball, and marry some rich guy and that’s it. That’s all they do. I wanted to do my own thing so I could buy whatever I want, do whatever I want.

A true heiress is never mean to anyone – except a girl who steals your boyfriend.

It’s like a kind of Barbie American dream. I have that childlike quality so a lot of little girls especially [like me]. I’ve always been a kid at heart. I think I always will be.

I’ve just always had a boyfriend my whole life, and I’ve – now I’m really focusing on myself and I think that’s more important right now.

I definitely think that fashion is a form of art and love that people can express themselves through what they wear.

Always walk around like you have on an invisible tiara.

If someone ever asks you to do something for them, do it really bad so you never have to do it again.

I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference God has given me this new chance.

The only rule is don’t be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.

First I wanted to be a veterinarian. And then I realized you had to give them shots to put them to sleep, so I decided I’d just buy a bunch of animals and have them in my house instead.

I get along with guys; most of my friends are guys. It’s easier to trust men sometimes. I only have a few close girlfriends that I trust.

I would be so scared if I was a gay guy; you’ll, like, die of AIDS.

I’m just a very creative and outgoing person and I love being around people and being around music. It just gives me energy.
