Kim Kardashian in Glamour: 'We All Know This Can Go Away at Any Moment'

By Sarah Crow Posted Jan 3rd 2011 02:00PM

Just a few years ago, Kim Kardashian was only a household name to those who religiously followed the exploits of Paris Hilton and those who shopped in the back room at the video store.

These days, the beauty with the booty can be found everywhere, from her small screen reality gig on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' to her endorsement empire, selling everything from cupcakes to clothing. In the past three months alone, the model/mogul has signed on to promote Sketchers Shape-ups, penned 'Kardashian Konfidential' with her sisters (which went on to become a New York Times best-seller) and debuted her first single.

Despite her unbelievable success and legions of adoring fans, Kardashian told Katie Couric, who interviewed her for Glamour's Guy Issue, "I don't find myself as sexy as everyone thinks. I'm a lot more insecure than people would assume."

Check out more quotes from Kim after the jump!

On her success:
"I'd be foolish not to take some of these opportunities that are coming my way. We all know this can go away at any moment."

On her sisters:
"We work really hard, and we fight like normal sisters fight, and we make up. We're so supportive of each other. We always stick together. Having lots of siblings is like having built-in best friends."

On dating:
"It's easier to just be single and not have a relationship. How do you get to know someone on a reality show? Some people think that they can handle it, and then they really can't."

On being a sex symbol:
"It's definitely powerful. I don't find myself as sexy as everyone thinks. I'm a lot more insecure than people would assume, but with little stupid things. When I get dressed, I'm always so indecisive."

On being in Playboy:
"It was an independence thing for me. I was always by the book, such the straight arrow when it came to pleasing my parents and being a good daughter. I felt like this was one decision that only I could make. And I think it looks great. I'll have those pictures forever."

On having every aspect of her family's life recorded:
"If there's something that we're going through, it's going to get out anyway. It'll be on the cover of a tabloid, and it'll be twisted the completely wrong way. So why not tell our story?"

On women being comfortable with their body:
"It's a process. You have to learn to accept it. You have to learn to like what you see in the mirror. There are definitely times when I don't feel like myself, but you have to fake it until you make it."

On what she thought she'd be doing at 30:
"If you had asked me five years ago what I would be doing at 30, I would have said, 'Married with a kid or two.' Not in a million years did I dream that I would be doing all the things that I'm doing."

Hey Tween,
You keepin' up with the Kardashians? I hate to be the one to tell ya, but when you were like 8, before the whole stupid family had a TV show, she let, like, this black rapper guy TOTALLY tinkle on her face! It was WHACK! OMG! So that's why she's famous, tween. Keep on keepin' up. Now that you know...if that's something you feel the need to keep up with...I'm sorry for you.

Kim is rather hot, but there are better looking girls who would have an equal right to the fame that she enjoys (just what is it that she does?). Tell me that white guy she's dating isn't paranoid of some black guy like Reggie Bush (who's basically a tripod) stealing her away. No substitute for size, right Kim?

why dont all of you shut up about her, she is just doing her job, i dont think you could of done any better. yall are haters. more like people without any clue in the world of what good is.

By Jay

Doing her job?? Dont think you could have done better?? What are you talking about? Any loser can make a sex tape! Any loser can get their pic taken! I see hotter, smarter less nasty chicks (and I mean chicks who make Kardasaskank look more like a hairy pig farmer then she already does)literally everyday in San Diego!! What exactly is her job? Banging slimy dudes? I bet you look up to her dont you?

Very true frank. At least after viewing that rather tepid, lethargic, lazy azz sex video of hers, maybe she's good looking, but I can't praise her bedroom prowess on any level. What's that about a "blind horse looking for a carrot" thing that Sam Kinison used to say?

By isabel

she's not hot looking at all without all that makeup on people, stop living in a fantasy world.. pleezz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Dave

Kim has also been on the cover of "Urinal Yearly" and "Hot bathroom Fixtures Monthly" magazines as well. She also has a pinup poster that is hanging in most auto mechanic and construction site urinals as well. Yep she sure has made it.

By dancintothebeatoflife

What is this girl famous for? Who decieded that the Kardashians are who one should aspire to keep up with? Famous for what and rich?? Young folk don't realize that they aren't rich, their parent is rich because they have worked and earned the money. Just because your parents are rich does not mean you are rich. Lets not get it confused.

This idiot makes me actually miss Paris Hilton.. LOL..at least her idiocy was funny.

This gal is a tramp, great looking but still a porno tramp. She's better looking then other porn star Paris. Both qualify as the town pumps...
