Nicky Hilton Quotations

I could have just received royalty checks every month by lending my name to a collection, but I didn't want to do that. My name is a reflection of me.

My fashion philosophy is that if I like it, I wear it.

I got in trouble in Catholic school for rolling the waist of my skirt down.

When I was a kid I had this funny blonde hair and everyone called me 'Chick' because I looked like Tweety Bird.

I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.

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

I'm not a snob about which looks are 'this season' and which are 'last season.'

When I signed the license, I thought the media wasn't going to pick up on it if I used my real name, Nicholai Hilton.

I interned at 'Hamptons' magazine. I was 12. I walked around with a pad and was like, 'What do you guys want for lunch?' to all the people who worked there.

These are clothes my friends and I could wear. This ain't Prada. I don't want to be one of those celebrities that slaps their name on a label and collects royalty checks. Everything on that runway reflects me.

When I was a kid I had this funny blond hair and everyone called me 'Chick' because I looked like Tweety Bird.

My friend Nicole Richie is also engaged, so I'm in the bridal party for that one, too,

Paris is really young at heart - I'm the older one in the relationship. I'm always telling her not to do stuff. If she's wearing something really silly, I'm like, "Don't go out wearing that.

Our main demographic is 12 (years old) to 30 (years old), but I've had women in their 50s come to my signing wearing pieces from the collection.

I always wanted to be a teacher.

I'm much pickier about what I put in my body. I always read labels now, whereas before I didn't even think to.

Fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it

Don't be afraid to take chances. The biggest risk is not taking any risk.
