"I always have a boyfriend all the time, so I've never really got to know me and, like, have time for myself because I spend all my energy on the boyfriend." – Paris Hilton
This quote contains a redundancy, an error in verb tense, an error in pronoun choice, and a superfluous colloquialism.
Paris says that she "always" has a boyfriend "all the time." These adverbs mean the same thing, so the use of both of them in the same sentence is redundant. Remove one of the adverbs to improve the sentence.
In the clause "I've never really got to know me," the verb is "have got." Paris is expressing something that has happened in the past and may be continuing in the present; the proper tense for this action is the present perfect, which is formed by combining the present tense of "have" with the past participle of the verb. The verb "get" has two past participles: "got" and "gotten." The use of the former means "to have" in a present sense ("I've got a craving for cookies") or "must" in a future sense ("I have got to get some cookies"), and the use of the latter means "to have received, to have had" ("I have always gotten cookies from my grandmother"). Since Paris is explaining that she has never had the opportunity to know herself, the proper past participle to use in this context is "gotten."
In the same clause, Paris uses the pronoun "me" to refer back to the subject "I." When the subject and the object (or, as in this case, the object of the infinitive phrase that refers back to the subject) in a sentence are the same, a reflexive pronoun should be used. Since the subject is in the first person, the proper pronoun to use in this case is "myself."
The use of "like" in a superfluous manner in a sentence is a colloquialism. While it is acceptable in everyday conversation, it should never be used in formal speech or standard written English.
This is what Paris should have said:
"I always have a boyfriend, so I've never really gotten to know myself and have time for myself because I spend all my energy on the boyfriend."
