Hilton wants to turn her back on her wild partying ways.
Paris told Larry King: "They say when you reach a
crossroad or a turning point in life, it really doesn't matter how we got
there, but it's what we do next after we got there.

"Usually you arrive there by adversity, and it is then, and only then, that
we find out who we truly are and what we're truly made of. It's a process, a
gift and a journey, and if we can travel it alone, although the road may be
rough at the beginning, you find an ability to walk it. A way to start fresh
again.

"It's neither a downfall nor a failure, but a new beginning. And I felt like
this is a new beginning for me, to see jail - and I just used it as a
journey to figure out myself and who I am and what I want to do. There's
just so much more to me than what people think."
