Heiress Paris Hilton was interviewed last night by Larry King on CNN in her first post-prison appearance. The star, who spent 23 days behind bars, said of her prison stay, "I was obviously very upset. I was just talking to myself saying, 'Paris be strong. You can do this." Hilton said that the prison food was horrible and that she lost a few pounds while serving her sentence. She also talked about her illness while in jail, saying, "I've suffered from claustrophobia my entire life and when I first got into that cell I was having severe panic attacks and anxiety attacks. I wasn't sleeping. I wasn't eating." When Hilton was asked if the experience had changed her, she said, "Yeah, definitely. I have a new outlook on life," she claimed. I just went with the motto, 'Don't serve the time, let the time serve you.'" Hilton added that her prison sentence came as a suprise when she first appeared in court. She said, "I was walking in there assuming I was just going to get community service. That's what my lawyer said at the time." |
