I feel like saying,

Too  shy to answer our questions during the interview, we diverted our attention away from her and towards her lusciously sweet lips, gorgeous green eyes and incredibly sexy body instead.

It worked a treat! Soon, she was comfortable enough to confide in us when her phone wouldn’t stop ringing: ‘I get crank calls from the weirdest places. I just know not to answer.’ We nodded sympathetically, left a creepy breath-mail for her, then switched off our mobile and got on with the interview...

Given that you come as part of a pair – Paris and Nicky – do you ever try to distance yourself from your sister?

I don’t think so. We’re just both trying to accomplish our goals. She wants to have a film career, and I’m in the fashion industry, working as the creative director of two companies.

Was that always your ambition?

No, I always wanted to be a teacher. My friends and cousins would come over after class and Paris and I would play school. I was the math teacher; Paris was the English teacher. We’d give them all homework.

How much cash do you have on you right now?

Around 0.

Is that typical?

No. I hardly ever carry cash. It’s annoying.

Have you ever gone out with guys of small financial means?

Yeah. Financial status means nothing at all to me. And I can take care of myself.

So what does a man need to get your attention?

A good sense of humour, as clichéd as that sounds. If someone can make me laugh, that’s the most fun. I like silly things. I love Jackass and South Park.

Are you constantly being chatted up by men in suits?

There was a guy the other day when I was having lunch in LA. He came up to me and was so sweet that I felt bad having to reject him. He looked me in the eyes and asked, ‘Can I take you on a date tonight?’ I said no. I felt so bad.

Is it tough to be your boyfriend?

I feel I’m one of the easiest people in the world. I’m pretty low maintenance – in every way.

How long does it take you to get ready to go out?

Probably 25 minutes. I’m very happy being a slob.

What exactly does it mean to be heiress to the Hilton empire? Are you actually going to be running hotels someday?

I grew up in hotels, so I definitely want to be involved in some way. The London Hilton is my favourite. There’s a Trader Vic’s in the hotel – one of my favourite restaurants. And there’s Nobu next door and a casino across the street.

Do you ever get sick of always being associated with money?

It gets a little boring. Reporters only ask me about parties or clubs or money.

We can talk politics if you like.

Those things matter to me, but I was taught by my grandfather never to talk about politics in public. Or religion.

Apart from fashion, do you have any other interests?

I love online gambling. At night, when I can’t sleep, I play blackjack online until I get tired or I lose my money.

Does fame ever get any easier?

The hard ones are like, ‘You and Paris don’t do anything, blah, blah. You’re just rich heiresses.’ I feel like saying, ‘I run two multi-million-dollar companies, and I’m 21. So fuck you. What were you doing at that age that was so important?’

What else pisses you off?

I hate unfriendly people. I hate waiting in lines.

When was the last time you had to queue up?

Last Saturday, at a restaurant!

They made you queue?
