Paris Hilton is the October cover girl for Elle Magazine, UK edition (You can see more photos of her in the mag below). She sat down for an interview with novelist Jackie Collins (who has known Paris since she was 10 years old). Here are some excerpts:

On the paparazzi:

“I think they’re out of control. I’ve rented this beautiful beach house, I’m all excited to go out on the beach and I can’t even do that. I had to put up these huge white walls. I can’t even see the beach from my house now, because there are 60 or 70 paparazzi standing on the beach in front of my house waiting for me to go in the ocean and for my bathing suit top to fall off. It’s insane.”

On what makes her happy:

“My animals, my family…I just love all my pets. I have 11 dogs, two monkeys, three ferrets. The monkeys and the ferrets are at my ranch, but the dogs and three cats and two bunnies run around my house.”

Would she have a baby on her own?

“No, because I wanna have, like, a family and a guy…Y’know, it just upsets me becasue I’m not anything like what people say about me, and this cartoon character that they’ve made of me is just completely false. It makes me mad that I’m such a good person and I’m treated like that by some people. I just don’t get it.”
