“I think every decade has an iconic blonde — like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana — and right now, I’m that icon.”--Paris Hilton (The Times UK)

"Casey has already picked out the baby's name: Ava-Monroe, after Marilyn , who has long been her idol. 'I see a lot of similarities, between us, ' Casey says. 'Her life makes me sad. I don't think she was very happy. She was just very, very complicated and sort of a deep person, and nobody realized that. They thought she was a dumb blonde, and she wasn't. She was a smart, smart broad. And I think that sometimes people look at me and think, Oh, Casey Johnson, she's stupid, she's blonde, she's and heiress, blah, blah, blah.'"--Casey Johnson (Vanity Fair)
