    Ahh Kim Kardashian-West. A woman of sassy, selfish, and sometimes seriously smart words.

    She’s a businesswoman extraordinaire, our queen of reality TV and the proud owner of the ultimate ugly cry face. We’ve charted Kim Kardashian-West’s most interesting sound bites…

    'I think that would be so much fun to be in the White House. I was joking with him. I was like, "You're going to have to make it to a second term," because he loves redecorating. I was like, "You're going to want to redo the whole White House and we're not going to be able to enjoy it."'

    'I don’t like the name South West. North will always be better and she has a better direction, so I wouldn’t do that. I don’t think we’ll go with another direction. Everyone keeps on saying South, and I think it’s so stupid. It’s the stupidest thing ever.”'

    ‘I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.’

    ‘There's a lot of baggage that comes along with our family, but it's like Louis Vuitton baggage.’ 

    ‘I remember when the wave of Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek and these beautiful Hispanic women came into light, and I looked up to them and I loved them, but I was like, 'Where are Middle Eastern women?'' 

    ‘When I gain a pound it's in the headlines.’

    ‘I went to San Diego recently didn’t even take a hairbrush.’ 

    ‘I couldn't care less if they [the media] say I'm pregnant with twins by my brother.’ 

    ‘I buy myself a gift every year, so this year I bought everything I wanted.’ 

    ‘I feel really blessed because I genuinely love the process of getting my hair and makeup done.’

    ‘If Paris Hilton thinks my butt looks gross I really don't care. At least I have a butt.’

    ‘Maybe my fairytale has a different ending than I dreamed it would. But that’s ok.’
