NEW YORK (AP) _ Paris Hilton says ``looks don't matter anymore'' when it comes to her dating preferences. Hilton told ``Access Hollywood'' that in her search for Mr. Right, she'd rather have someone with a good heart.

``Looks don't matter anymore,'' the 23-year-old hotel heiress-model-actress said in the interview, set to air Wednesday. ``It's all about how nice they are. At this point, I want to find a guy who's right for me. I want someone who's going to treat me well and love me.''

Hilton, who broke up with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter this summer, starred in two seasons of the Fox reality show ``The Simple Life.'' She recently published a memoir, ``Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose,'' and launched a jewelry collection.

``I'd rather have someone with a good heart than some good-looking idiot with no brain, because looks fade and I know that. I know that I'm not going to be good-looking forever,'' she said. ``No one is, so it doesn't matter.''

Hilton, who just released ``Screwed,'' the first single from her debut album, said people should listen to her material before drawing any conclusions about her talent.

``Please, my album is so insane,'' she said. ``People are going to be blown away.''
