Paris Hilton talks about business in V Magazine

Paris Hilton, pop culture phenomenon, speaks in two distinct voices. There’s the coquettish, sweet, high-pitched, girly affectation that’s been well-documented in TV shows and personal appearances around the world, associated with phrases like “That’s hot” and “Loves it.” And then, when Hilton is among friends and business associates, there’s a deeper, more gruff tone, devoid of flirtation and flippancy, used to discuss facts and figures, scandals and stalkers.
