Paris Hilton might still be four days away from freedom, but she's already talking. Hilton, who had settled into a quiet life at the Century Regional Detention Center, used part of her hour of free time today to chat exclusively with Ryan Seacrest at E! News.

Among the topics covered in the talk, which was not recorded, but the details of which will be aired tonight and tomorrow: Paris' plans to change her life, issues with the press, and her assertion that she is not getting any preferential treatment inside the jail.

Read on for excerpts:

On gaining new perspective:
"I'm so much more grateful for everything that I have, even just to have a pillow at night or food. You know, my gratitude has gone up so much."

On her place in the media:
"I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it...[I am] frankly sick of it and I want to use my fame in a good way."

On the difficulty of visits in jail:
"I am behind glass and I want to give my dad a big hug and they won't even let me do that. That's how the rules are, you have to be behind glass. I'm not a criminal, I'm not dangerous, so it makes me feel like that. It's hard but I'm stronger everyday."
